In a shocking turn of events, former President Donald Trump was the target of an assassination attempt during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on Saturday. According to multiple reports, a bullet grazed Trump’s ear, causing a minor injury, before the shooter was killed by Secret Service agents.
The FBI has identified the suspect as Thomas Matthew Crooks, but the motive for the attack remains under investigation. Trump was quickly ushered off the stage by Secret Service agents after the incident, which occurred as he was preparing to introduce his running mate for the 2024 presidential election.
Despite the attack, Trump is reported to be “fine” and is expected to continue his campaign schedule. The former president took to his Truth Social network to comment on the incident, stating that a bullet had grazed him.
