Trump, who is now "doing well", says he was shot in the ear as he stood in front of crowds at a fairground in Butler.

One bystander was killed in the shooting and two others were critically injured, according to a Secret Service spokesman.

The Director of the Secret Service, Kimberly Cheatle, has been summoned to testify before the US House of Representatives on 22 July by the Oversight Committee - the main investigative board of the US House of Representatives.

At a news conference on Sunday, FBI special agent Kevin Rojek said it was "surprising" that the shooter, who has been named as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, was able to open fire before the Secret Service killed him.
