The FBI has labeled the shooting that took place at a Trump rally in Pennsylvania on July 13 as an “assassination attempt.” The incident occurred in Butler, Pennsylvania, where a gunman opened fire on the rally stage, resulting in the death of one attendee and critical injuries to two others. President Trump himself narrowly escaped injury, with a bullet reportedly grazing the upper part of his right ear.
The shooter has been identified as 20-year-old Thomas Allen Crooks, a resident of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania. The FBI has launched an investigation into the incident to determine the motive behind the attack and whether Crooks had any accomplices.
The shooting has once again highlighted the increasing tensions and violence surrounding political events in the country. President Trump has condemned the attack and expressed his gratitude to law enforcement for their swift response in apprehending the gunman. Security measures at political rallies are likely to be heightened in the wake of this incident to ensure the safety of attendees and public figures.
