Donald Trump survived a weekend assassination attempt days before accepting the Republican presidential nomination, highlighting significant security concerns. The incident took place in Butler, Pennsylvania, where Trump was addressing supporters when shots were fired, injuring him. He sustained a minor injury to his right ear but is reported to be in good condition.

The suspect, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, was identified as the gunman and was killed by the Secret Service. The FBI continues to investigate the motive behind the attack. One rally attendee was killed, and two others were critically injured. The attack comes just months before Trump's election face-off with President Joe Biden.
