MotiveUndetermined

Donald Trump, the 45th president of the United States and the presumptive Republican Party nominee for the 2024 presidential election, was shot in the upper right ear on July 13, 2024, during a campaign rally near Butler, Pennsylvania.[8][9][10]

The shooter was 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania.[5][11][12][13] Law enforcement personnel and witnesses said Crooks was on a roof outside the rally venue, using an AR-15–style semi-automatic rifle to fire eight rounds, before being killed by a sniper from the Secret Service Counter Assault Team.[14][15]

After being shot, Trump ducked to the ground and was quickly surrounded by Secret Service personnel. He then rose to his feet– bleeding from his right ear as he repeatedly pumped his fist into the air and shouted to his supporters– before the Secret Service rushed him to a vehicle.[16][17] Trump was then sent to hospital and released in a stable condition, departing by plane to New Jersey.[18][19] A rally attendee was killed, while two other attendees were critically injured.[20]

The shooting is being investigated as an attempted assassination.[11][21][22] It is the first time that a former or current U.S. president was injured in an attempted assassination since then-President Ronald Reagan was shot in 1981, and the first time for a presidential candidate since the attempted assassination of George Wallace in 1972.[23]

Background

Former president Donald Trump is the presumptive Republican nominee for the 2024 United States presidential election.[24]

On July 5, 2024, it was announced that Trump would hold a rally at the Butler Farm Show Grounds between Connoquenessing Township and Meridian near Butler, Pennsylvania, on the 13th.[25][26][27] It was held as part of Trump's presidential campaign for the election in order to raise votes in the swing state of Pennsylvania;[28] the state contains 19 votes in the Electoral College, and 270 electoral votes are needed to be elected President.[29] Butler County Republican Committee chairman James E. Hulings estimated 50,000 people were at the rally.[30] U.S. Representative Mike Kelly said that he tried contacting the Trump campaign about holding the rally in an area that can handle a larger crowd than the Butler Farm Show Grounds. He claimed they responded to him by saying, "We appreciate your input but we've already made up our minds." The shooting occurred two days before the scheduled start of the 2024 Republican National Convention.[29] Attendees at Trump's rallies are screened for prohibited items, including weapons.[31]

Shooting

Trump was shot at approximately 6:11 p.m. EDT[34][35] during his campaign rally.[36][37] Six minutes into Trump's speech,[38] Thomas Matthew Crooks fired eight shots from an AR-15–style rifle into the rally.[14][12][34][35] Crooks did not undergo security screening as he was outside the security perimeter of the rally; he had climbed onto the roof of a shed, 200 to 400 feet (61 to 122 m) north of Trump.[36][39][40][41] Crooks was killed by a sniper from the United States Secret Service Counter Assault Team immediately after the shooting.[42]

A bullet struck Trump in his upper right ear, and he ducked.[42][43] Secret Service agents lunged toward Trump and shielded him. After around 25 seconds on the ground,[44] he rose with blood on his ear and face and told Secret Service agents that he needed his shoes. Trump then raised his fist and pumped it at the crowd, with cheers and chants of "U-S-A!" in response by the crowd. He was then escorted to a vehicle and brought to a nearby hospital.[42][44][45] Three rally-goers were hit, leaving one person dead and two critically injured.[46] One of the injured was in the left-hand bleachers seating at the venue.[32] U.S. Representative Ronny Jackson later told Fox News that his nephew was shot in the neck.[47]

Perpetrator

On July 14, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) identified the shooter as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks.[12] Crooks was from Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, a community within one hour's drive of the shooting location.[48][13] Crooks attended Bethel Park High School and graduated in 2022.[49][50] That year, he received a $500 award from the National Math and Science Initiative.[50] He had no known criminal record.[51]

Crooks was a registered Republican, and had contributed one campaign donation of $15 on January 20, 2021 through the Democratic Party donation platform ActBlue.[49][48][52][50][53] He had last voted in the 2022 Pennsylvania elections.[54] Photos showed the possible shooter wearing a shirt consistent with merchandise for Demolition Ranch, a popular YouTube channel about firearms.[55]

No motive for the attack has been confirmed.[56]

Aftermath

Trump was transported to Butler Memorial Hospital for examination. Trump departed the hospital hours later. His motorcade left the hospital at around 9:30 p.m. EDT bound for Pittsburgh International Airport. Trump landed in Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey in the early morning of July 14.[57][58] A spokesman for the Secret Service, followed by Trump himself, affirmed that he was safe.[59][60][61]

The FBI is leading an investigation with the Department of Justice, the United States Secret Service, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.[62][63] The incident is being investigated as an assassination attempt.[21][22] It is the first time a current or former U.S. president or presidential candidate has been shot since Ronald Reagan in 1981.[21]

After the shooting, Trump released a statement on Truth Social thanking law enforcement personnel and the Secret Service and offering condolences to the families of people killed and injured.[64][65] He said:[66]

It is incredible that such an act can take place in our Country. Nothing is known at this time about the shooter, who is now dead. I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear. 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, so I realized then what was happening.

Security at Trump Tower was increased by the New York City Police Department.[67]

Investigation

Crooks's body was taken from the rooftop.[32] He was not carrying identification.[68][69] The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the United States Department of Justice National Security Division opened investigations into the shooting and confirmed the shooter's identity via fingerprint biometrics and DNA profiling.[70]

Effects on Trump's public image

Further information: Public image of Donald Trump

The footage of his reassurance that he was only lightly wounded to spectators and media alike moments after the assassination attempt was broadcast internationally. The image of a bloodied Trump pumping his fist in the air, surrounded by the Secret Service, and with an American flag in the backdrop, was taken by Evan Vucci of the Associated Press and spread on social media shortly afterwards. The photo also saw subsequent, widespread usage in posts by his most prominent allies, including the National Republican Senatorial Committee, his family members, and members of congress.

Politico said some used the photo as "an opportunity to tout conspiracy theories and stoke political tensions."[71][72] Benjamin Wallace-Wells of The New Yorker said that "It is already the indelible image of our era of political crisis and conflict." He analyzed that "some of the elements in Vucci's image are familiar from the countless others of Trump" and concluded that "It is an image that captures him as he would like to be seen, so perfectly, in fact, that it may outlast all the rest."[73] Business Insider echoed those sentiments, assessing that it had "become the most iconic image of his reelection among Republicans."[74] Shawn McCreesh of The New York Times stated that "in the middle of the mayhem, Trump pumped his fist and revealed his instincts". Writing that after being shot, Trump told his Secret Service detail to wait while he pumped his fist in the air. McCreesh stated that it was hard to find "a moment that more fully epitomizes Mr. Trump's visceral connection with his supporters, and his mastery of the modern media age."[75]

U.S. President Joe Biden delivering remarks on the incident

After the shooting, United States President Joe Biden made remarks labelling the violence as "sick... We cannot be like this...

Republican U.S. Representative Mike Collins of Georgia called for a Republican prosecutor to charge Joe Biden for inciting an assassination.[85] Republican Senator J. D. Vance of Ohio blamed the Biden presidential campaign's political rhetoric, while Republican Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina blamed messaging by "the radical Left and corporate media."[86]
