On July 13, 2024, Donald Trump, a former president of the United States who at the time was the presumptive nominee of the Republican Party in the 2024 presidential election, survived an assassination attempt while speaking at an open-air campaign rally near Butler, Pennsylvania.[5] Trump was shot and wounded in his upper right ear[6] by Thomas Matthew Crooks, a 20-year-old man from Bethel Park, Pennsylvania,[2][7] who fired eight rounds from an AR-15–style rifle from the roof of a nearby building.[2][8][9] Crooks also killed one audience member and critically injured two others.[2] He was subsequently shot and killed by the United States Secret Service's Counter Sniper Team.[10]
Video shows Trump clasping his ear and taking cover behind his lectern, where Secret Service agents shielded him until the shooter was killed. Photojournalist Evan Vucci of the Associated Press captured images of a bloodied Trump pumping his fist in the air and saying the word "Fight!" as agents escorted him off-stage; the images went viral on social media. Trump was taken to a hospital, treated, and released in stable condition later that same day.[2][11] He made his first public appearance after the shooting two days later at the 2024 Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.[12]
The director of the Secret Service, Kimberly Cheatle, resigned ten days later, following widespread criticism of security lapses at the rally and of her congressional testimony.[13][14] President Joe Biden ordered an independent review of the security arrangements.[15] Biden also condemned the violence and called for a reduction in heated political rhetoric, emphasizing the importance of resolving political differences peacefully.[16] Misinformation and conspiracy theories quickly spread on social media after the shooting.[17] Lawmakers called for increased security for the major candidates in the election.[18]
