Trump Assassination Attempt Leaves One Dead, Shooter Killed

Former President Donald Trump was the target of an assassination attempt during a rally in Butler County, Pennsylvania. The incident, which occurred on July 13, involved a sniper opening fire from an elevated position, resulting in the death of one audience member and critical injuries to two others. The suspected gunman was neutralized and killed by Secret Service agents. Trump, who was speaking at the time, was hit by a bullet that pierced the upper part of his right ear. He was taken to a local medical facility for evaluation and his campaign has stated that he is fine.

The Secret Service recovered an AR-style rifle from the scene and is investigating the incident as an attempted assassination. President Joe Biden and other political leaders have condemned the attack. Despite the event, the Republican National Committee has announced that the convention in Milwaukee will proceed as planned, and Trump is expected to attend. The investigation continues, with Homeland Security taking measures to ensure the safety and security of the campaign.
