(NewsNation) — The Department of Homeland Security inspector general will be investigating the Secret Service's process for security at Saturday's campaign rally where a gunman shot at former President Donald Trump.
The DHS Office of Inspector General announced the investigation online Wednesday. There is no estimated timeline of how long it will take.
One rally attendee was killed and two more critically injured, while Trump said a bullet grazed his ear before he was rushed offstage by the Secret Service.
The shots were fired from a rooftop less than 200 yards from the stage in Butler, Pennsylvania, outside the security perimeter but still within the distance where a sniper could make a shot.
In the days following the shooting, lawmakers have raised questions about security at the venue and how a shooter was able to get so close and fire so many shots before being killed by Secret Service agents.
