Shooting at Trump rally comes at volatile time in American history

Former President Donald Trump was injured in an assassination attempt during a Butler, Pennsylvania rally. The shooting occurred at 6:10 p.m., and the Secret Service promptly secured Trump, although a spectator was fatally wounded. The 20-year-old shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was neutralized by snipers. Trump received medical attention and was later transported to New Jersey. President Joe Biden condemned the incident, calling for unity. The FBI's investigation revealed Crooks' conflicting political affiliations. Heightened security marked the upcoming Republican National Convention.
