Unclear Origin of Gun and Explosive Devices in Assassination Attempt
The gun used in the assassination attempt was purchased by the perpetrator's father, but it remains uncertain whether the father gave, lent, or if the perpetrator took it. The presence of explosive devices, found in the car and at the perpetrator's residence, delayed the investigation. The perpetrator had knowledge of firearms and explosives, although authorities are unsure of the source of his expertise and his intentions. This incident marks a significant failure for the Secret Service, possibly one of the darkest days in its history.
