PerpetratorThomas Matthew Crooks[7]

The shooter was identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania.[5][10][13][14] Law enforcement personnel and witnesses said Crooks crawled onto a roof outside the rally venue and fired eight rounds from an AR-15-style semi-automatic rifle before being killed by a Secret Service Counter Assault Team sniper.[15][16] A rally attendee was killed, while two other attendees were critically injured.[17]

After being shot, Trump ducked to the ground and was quickly surrounded by Secret Service personnel. He soon rose to his feet, bleeding from his right ear. He then pumped his fist into the air and shouted "fight, fight" before Secret Service agents rushed him to a vehicle.[10][18] Trump was then taken to a hospital and released in stable condition, departing by plane to New Jersey.[19][20]

It is the first time that a former or current U.S. president was injured in an attempted assassination since Ronald Reagan was shot in 1981, and the first time for a presidential candidate since the attempted assassination of George Wallace in 1972.[21]

Background

Former president Donald Trump is the presumptive Republican nominee for the 2024 United States presidential election.[22] The shooting occurred two days before the scheduled start of the 2024 Republican National Convention.[23]

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 July 13.[24][25][26] A large open field with generators, set-up was begun by an advance team on July 10.[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 has 19 votes in the Electoral College.[23] Butler County Republican Committee chairman James E. Hulings estimated 50,000 people were at the rally.[29] 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 said they responded to him by saying, "We appreciate your input but we've already made up our minds."[citation needed]

Attendees at Trump's rallies are screened for prohibited items, including weapons.[30]

Shooting

Trump arrived at about 6:03 pm EDT.[33] Shots were fired at him, beginning at approximately 6:12 pm[33][34][35] during his campaign rally.[36][37][38] Thomas Matthew Crooks fired eight shots from an AR-15-style rifle into the rally.[15][13][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] Reports indicated that a witness observed a man carrying a rifle on the rooftop and alerted the police about the individual minutes before shots were fired at Trump.[42] Crooks was killed by a sniper from the United States Secret Service Counter Assault Team immediately after the shooting.[43]

A bullet struck Trump's upper right ear. He briefly put his right hand to the ear and then dropped to the ground.[43][44] Secret Service agents lunged toward Trump and shielded him. After about 25 seconds[45] 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. He was then escorted to a vehicle and taken to a nearby hospital.[43][45][46] Three rally-goers were hit, leaving one person dead and two critically injured.[47] One of the injured was in the left-hand bleachers seating at the venue.[31] U.S. Representative Ronny Jackson said a bullet grazed his nephew's neck, drawing blood.[48]

Main article: Thomas Matthew Crooks‎

On July 14, the Federal Bureau of Investigation identified the shooter as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks (born September 20, 2003[49]) from Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, a community within one hour's drive of the shooting location.[13][14] Crooks attended Bethel Park High School and graduated in 2022.[50][51] He had no known criminal record.[52][49]

Crooks was a registered Republican,[49][53][54] and his voter registration was active since 2021.[49] On January 20, 2021,[55][56] he contributed a campaign donation of $15 to the Progressive Turnout Project through Democratic Party donation platform ActBlue.[55][51][57] Photos of Crooks's body showed him wearing a shirt that appeared to be merchandise from Demolition Ranch, a YouTube channel popularizing firearms.[58][59]

Aftermath

Trump was transported to Butler Memorial Hospital for examination immediately following the shooting.[60] Hours later, his motorcade left the hospital at around 9:30 pm EDT bound for Pittsburgh International Airport.[61] Trump landed in Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey in the early morning of July 14 where he spent the night and recuperated at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster.[62] A spokesman for the Secret Service, followed by Trump himself, affirmed that he was safe.[63][64][65]

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.[66][67] The incident is being investigated as an assassination attempt.[11][12] It is the first time a current or former U.S. president or presidential candidate has been shot since Ronald Reagan in 1981.[11]

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.[68][69] He said:[70]

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.[71]

Investigation

The body of Crooks was taken from the rooftop.[31] He was not carrying identification.[72][73] 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.[74]

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.[75]

Politico said some used the photo as "an opportunity to tout conspiracy theories and stoke political tensions."[76][77] Benjamin Wallace-Wells of The New Yorker said that "It is already the indelible image of our era of political crisis and conflict." He noted 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."[78] Business Insider echoed those sentiments, assessing that it had "become the most iconic image of his reelection among Republicans."[79] 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."[80]

Responses

Domestic

Federal officials

U.S. President Joe Biden commenting on the assassination attempt

After the shooting, United States president Joe Biden stated: "Look, there's no place in America for this kind of violence. It's sick. It's sick. It's one of the reasons we have to unite this country... Everybody must condemn it." Separately, he said he was "grateful to hear" that Trump was safe.[81][82][83] Biden later spoke with Trump in the evening of the incident.[84]

House Speaker Mike Johnson pledged to open an investigation into the shooting, seeking testimony from federal law enforcement and national security officials. Senate Republicans urged the Democratic-controlled senate to conduct hearings as well.[85][86]

State officials

Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro denounced political violence.[87] Florida governor Ron DeSantis, who ran against Trump in the 2024 Republican primaries, stated he and his wife were praying for Trump.[88] Colorado governor Jared Polis called for President Biden to extend Secret Service protection to independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.[89]

Others

Former president George W. Bush called the shooting "cowardly" and applauded the Secret Service for their response.[90] Former presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton and former secretary of state and Trump's opponent in the 2016 election, Hillary Clinton, also condemned the attack and wished Trump a swift recovery.[91][92]

Republican U.S. representative Mike Collins of Georgia called for a Republican prosecutor to charge Biden for inciting an assassination.[93] 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".[94] Republican House majority leader Steve Scalise, who was seriously injured in the 2017 Congressional baseball shooting, stated that Democratic leaders had been fueling "ludicrous hysteria" about Trump and called for the "incendiary rhetoric" to stop.[95] Some Republicans, including representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, criticized Democratic representative Bennie Thompson for introducing a bill earlier in the year that would strip Secret Service protection from those convicted of felonies.[95]

Archbishop Timothy Broglio, president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, issued a statement condemning political violence. He expressed solidarity with his fellow bishops in offering prayers for former President Trump, for those who were killed or injured, for the nation, and for an end to political violence, emphasizing that it is never a solution to political disagreements.[96][97]

International

Many political leaders condemned the shooting, including Javier Milei of Argentina,[98] Anthony Albanese of Australia,[99] Ilham Aliyev of Azerbaijan,[100] Justin Trudeau of Canada,[101] Gabriel Boric of Chile,[102] Nikos Christodoulides of Cyprus,[103] Petr Pavel of the Czech Republic,[104] Daniel Noboa of Ecuador,[105] Nayib Bukele of El Salvador,[106] Alexander Stubb of Finland, Emmanuel Macron of France,[105] Kyriakos Mitsotakis of Greece,[107] Viktor Orbán of Hungary,[108] Narendra Modi of India,[108] Joko Widodo of Indonesia,[109] Simon Harris of the Republic of Ireland,[110] Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel,[111] Giorgia Meloni of Italy,[108][102] Fumio Kishida of Japan,[112] Kassym-Jomart Tokayev of Kazakhstan,[113] Andrés Manuel López Obrador of Mexico,[114] Mohamed Muizzu of the Maldives,[115] Shehbaz Sharif of Pakistan,[116] Bongbong Marcos of the Philippines,[117] Andrzej Duda and Donald Tusk of Poland,[118] Yoon Suk Yeol of South Korea,[119] Pedro Sánchez of Spain,[120] Ulf Kristersson of Sweden,[121] Lai Ching-te of Taiwan,[116] Recep Tayyip Erdoğan of Turkey,[122] Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine,[108] Keir Starmer of the United Kingdom,[123] and Nicolás Maduro of Venezuela.[124] Georgian prime minister Irakli Kobakhidze expressed solidarity with Donald Trump and accused the "Global War Party", an alleged New World Order organization, of being responsible for this attack in addition to other acts of political violence such as the attempted assassination of Robert Fico and death threats issued against him.[125][126][127]
