Revision as of 05:51, 14 July 2024

On July 13, 2024, former president of the United States Donald Trump was shot and wounded by Thomas Matthew Crooks while at a campaign rally near Butler, Pennsylvania.^[7]^[8] Law enforcement and witnesses stated that the suspected shooter fired from a roof outside the rally venue using an AR-15–style semi-automatic rifle, before being killed by the Secret Service counter-assault team.^[9]

After being shot in the upper right ear, Trump was quickly surrounded by Secret Service agents; he pumped his fist in the air multiple times before being rushed to a vehicle.^[10]^[11] He was then sent to the hospital and released in stable condition, departing by plane to New Jersey.^[12]^[13] Federal and local officials reported that the suspected shooter and a rally attendee were killed, while two attendees were critically injured.^[5]^[14]

The shooting is being investigated as an attempted assassination.^[14]^[15]^[16] 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.^[17]

Background

Former president Donald Trump is the presumptive Republican nominee for the 2024 United States presidential election.^[18]

On July 5, 2024, it was announced that Trump would hold a rally at the Butler Farm Show Grounds in Connoquenessing Township, near Butler, Pennsylvania, on the 13th.^[19]^[20] It was held as part of Trump's presidential campaign for the election in order to raise votes in the swing state of Pennsylvania.^[21] Butler County Republican Committee chairman James E. Hulings estimated 50,000 people were at the rally.^[22] Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA) 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.^[23] Trump's rallies are screened for prohibited items, including weapons.^[24]

Increasing support for political violence during the 2024 election

The shooting came as scholars, lawmakers, intelligence agencies, and the public have expressed concerns about political violence surrounding the 2024 election.^[25]^[26] The fears come amidst increasing threats and acts of physical violence targeting pubic officials and election workers at all levels of government.^[27]^[28] Polling has shown increases in Americans supporting the use of violence to achieve political outcomes. An October 2023 poll by the Public Religion Research Institute and Brookings Institution found that 33% of Republicans supported the use of violence for political ends, followed by 22% of independents and 13% of Democrats.^[29]

As reported by the The New York Times, a nationwide poll^[when?] on political violence by political scientist Robert Pape showed that 10% of respondents said "use of force is justified to prevent Donald Trump from becoming president", 1/3 of whom also said they owned a gun. Another 7% of respondents said "the use of force was justified to return Mr. Trump to the presidency", 1/2 of whom also said they owned a gun.^[14]^[30] Opinion polls which used different wording found lower support, around 4% to 5%.^[31] In general, opinion polls overstate popular support for political violence, because disengaged respondents are several times more likely to support political violence. When looking only at actively-engaged respondents, between 2% and 7% of respondents said they would support a politically motivated shooting, and 96% to 100% said that such a shooter should be criminally charged.^[32]

Shooting

Trump was shot at approximately 6:11 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time^[35]^[36] during his campaign rally.^[37]^[38] Six minutes into his speech,^[39] a sniper fired multiple shots from an AR-15 style rifle into the rally.^[35]^[36] According to Butler County district attorney Richard Goldinger, authorities have yet to determine the shooter's identity,^[40] but he was identified as a "20-year-old Pennsylvania man" by The Washington Post.^[41] The suspected shooter 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.^[37]^[42]^[43]^[44] He was killed by a United States Secret Service Counter Assault Team sniper soon after the shooting.^[45]

Trump was shot in the upper right ear by a bullet and ducked.^[45]^[46] Trump later stated on Truth Social that he "was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of [his] right ear."^[47]^[48] Secret Service agents lunged toward Trump and shielded him. After around 25 seconds on the ground,^[49] 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 "USA" in response by the crowd. He was then escorted to a vehicle and brought to a nearby hospital.^[45]^[50] At least three rally-goers were hit, leaving one person dead and two critically injured.^[51] One of the injured was in the left-hand bleachers at the venue.^[33] U.S. Representative Ronny Jackson later told Fox News that his nephew was shot in the neck.^[52]

Aftermath

Trump was transported to Butler Memorial Hospital for examination. His motorcade left the hospital at around 9:30 p.m. EDT bound for Pittsburgh International Airport.^[53]^[54] A spokesman for the Secret Service confirmed that "an incident occurred" and affirmed that Trump was safe.^[55] Campaign spokesman Steven Cheung also affirmed that Trump was fine.^[56]

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is leading an investigation with the Department of Justice, the United States Secret Service, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.^[57]^[58] The incident is being investigated as an assassination attempt.^[15]^[16] It is the first time a current or former U.S. president or presidential candidate has been shot since Ronald Reagan in 1981.^[15]

After the shooting, Trump released a statement on Truth Social wherein he thanked law enforcement and the Secret Service and offered his condolences to the families of the person killed and the injured person.^[59]^[60] Recounting the events, he said,^[61]

"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.^[62]

Investigation

The alleged shooter's body was taken from the rooftop.^[33] According to Butler County district attorney Richard Goldinger, authorities have yet to determine his identity.^[63] The suspect was not carrying an ID.^[64] Federal investigators have tentatively identified him as a 20-year-old white male from Pennsylvania.^[65] The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the United States Department of Justice National Security Division have opened investigations into the shooting.^[66]

Effects on Trump's public image

An image of a bloodied Trump pumping his fist in the air was taken by Evan Vucci of the Associated Press and spread on social media shortly afterwards. The photo observed subsequent, widespread usage in posts by his most prominent allies, including the National Republican Senatorial Committee. Politico said some used it as "an opportunity to tout conspiracy theories and stoke political tensions."^[67] 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."^[68] Business Insider echoed those sentiments, assessing that it had "become the most iconic image of his reelection among Republicans."^[69]

@realDonaldTrump

I want to thank The United States Secret Service, and all of Law Enforcement, for their rapid response on the shooting that just took place in Butler, Pennsylvania. Most importantly, I want to extend my condolences to the family of the person at the Rally who was killed, and also to the family of another person that was badly injured. 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. GOD BLESS AMERICA!

July 13, 2024^[77]

Former President George W. Bush called the shooting "cowardly" and applauded the Secret Service for their response.^[78] Former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton also condemned the attack and wished Trump a swift recovery.^[79]^[80]

Republican U.S. Representative Mike Collins of Georgia called for a Republican prosecutor to charge President Joe Biden "for inciting an assassination," with Collins publicly accusing Biden of having "sent the orders," citing a quote by Biden to political donors earlier that week as reported by Politico: "we're done talking about the debate, it's time to put Trump in a bullseye."^[81] 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."^[82]

International

Many political leaders condemned the shooting including Justin Trudeau^[83] of Canada, Javier Milei^[84] of Argentina and Anthony Albanese^[85] of Australia.
