On July 13, 2024, during a campaign rally near Butler, Pennsylvania, Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee for the 2024 presidential election, survived an assassination attempt. The assailant, Thomas Matthew Crooks, a 20-year-old man from Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, fired multiple shots at Trump using an AR-15-style rifle from a nearby rooftop. One of the bullets grazed Trump's upper right ear, causing minor injuries. Crooks also killed one audience member and injured two others before being fatally shot by Secret Service agents.
The incident led to significant scrutiny of the Secret Service, as it was the most severe attack on someone under their protection in decades. The agency faced criticism for security lapses, and its director resigned shortly after the event. The motivation behind Crooks' actions remains unclear, and authorities have been investigating whether he acted alone or was influenced by external factors(
