Donald Trump narrowly escaped an assassination attempt during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. A single shot hit Trump's upper right ear, but he was not severely wounded. One person was killed and two others were injured before Secret Service agents neutralized the shooter.

The suspect, identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks, a 20-year-old nursing home aide, was acting alone according to FBI officials. Crooks' background check was clean, and the rifle used was legally purchased by his father. President Biden has ordered an independent review into the security breach.

World leaders condemned the attack, and both Trump and Biden urged for calm and unity amidst the deep political divide in America. This incident shifts the focus of the presidential race, which was previously centered on Biden's performance debates.
