On July 13, 2024, former President Donald Trump was the target of an assassination attempt during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. The shooter, identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks from Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, fired multiple shots from an elevated position outside the rally venue. One of the bullets struck Trump in the upper part of his right ear, causing a significant injury but not life-threatening. Unfortunately, the attack resulted in the death of one rally attendee and critical injuries to two others before the shooter was neutralized by the Secret Service. The FBI is actively investigating the incident to determine Crooks' motives and any potential connections. Trump, who expressed gratitude towards law enforcement for their rapid response, shared details of his injury on his Truth Social account and extended condolences to the families of those affected by the incident​. This event has sparked significant discussions about security measures at political rallies and has led to accusations from Trump allies, such as Senator J.D. Vance, who blamed the Biden campaign's rhetoric for inciting violence​ (Fox News)​. The U.S. Secret Service and the FBI are continuing their investigations into the security breach and the circumstances surrounding the attempt​ (Fox News)​.
