A shocking incident unfolded at a Pennsylvania campaign rally for former President Donald Trump, as a gunman opened fire from a rooftop, injuring Trump and killing one person.
The FBI has identified the shooter as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, who was shot dead by police snipers.
According to eyewitnesses, Trump was rushed from the stage by the Secret Service, bleeding from the ear, but managed to raise a fist in the air as the crowd chanted “USA, USA!” The former president’s campaign has confirmed that he is doing fine. One rallygoer was killed, and two others remain in critical condition.
The FBI is investigating the shooting, and the Secret Service is facing questions from congressional leaders about how the shooter gained access to a rooftop with a clear line of sight to the former president.
This incident marks the first time a US president or former president has been wounded in an assassination attempt in over four decades.
As the investigation continues, the motive behind Crooks’ actions remains unknown. The incident has sent shockwaves across the nation, highlighting concerns about political violence and the security of public figures.
