Gunman, Thomas Crooks opened fire at Trump's rally Saturday, injuring the former president on his right ear and killing Corey Comperatore, 50. Two others were injured: David Dutch, 57, and James Copenhaver, 74, both of whom are now in stable condition. Investigators are still working to uncover a motive for the shooting.
Agents found him in their sights and one pulled the trigger seconds after the 20-year-old fired shots.
Trump surprised audiences at the Republican National Convention on Monday by making his first public appearance since the shooting, where he greeted supporters while wearing a white bandage wrapped around his ear.
On the second night of the convention, delegates and attendees were photographed wearing makeshift "bandages" from folded-up slips of paper to pieces of tape on their right ears to showcase their solidarity with Trump.
Arizona delegate Joe Neglia was one of the first people photographed wearing the ear bandage during the second night of the convention.
Neglia told CBS News he folded up an envelope "on the bus on the way here" to wear on his right ear.
“This is the newest fashion trend. I’m getting this going. Everybody in the world is going to be wearing these pretty soon," Neglia said.
