On Saturday, shots rang out at a Pennsylvania Trump rally, lightly wounding Former President Donald Trump, seriously injuring two and killing one.
The gunman was neutralized at the scene by security officers.
The suspect was later named Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania.
During Trump’s speech on immigration, five shots rang out, and Trump collapsed surrounded by Secret Service officers.
He emerged shortly after with a bloodied ear, made a fist-pump in the air, yelled “fight” as crowds cheered.
The Trump campaign confirmed that the presumptive GOP nominee was “fine.”
Later, he posted on social media, “I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin. Much bleeding took place.”
The attack was treated as an assassination attempt and has been widely condemned by public figures.
US President Joe Biden, Trump’s opponent in the 2024 Presidential election, said publicly, “There’s no place in America for this type of violence. It’s sick. It’s sick.”
