Butler, Pennsylvania. Donald Trump is the target of an assassination attempt by Thomas Matthew Crooks. Crooks, a 20-year-old man, fires several shots at him from the roof of a nearby building, about 150 meters away. The attacker is killed shortly thereafter by Secret Service agents stationed on another building. Former President Trump, campaigning for the 2024 presidential election, reports only a wound to his right ear, having turned his head slightly moments before the bullets landed.
