The gunman from the rooftop fired some gunshots which injured Trump in one ear before he (the shooter) was shot dead by the Secret Service.

CNN reports that law enforcement sources said that authorities used the gun recovered from the shooter to help determine his identity as he did not have identification on him.

A person familiar with the investigation reportedly said that the gun used in the shooting was an AR-style weapon.
