Attack on Donald Trump: Who is Thomas Matthew Crooks, the suspected shooter? | ABP News
In a shocking incident, former US President Donald Trump was injured in an apparent assassination attempt during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania on July 13. The 20-year-old shooter, later identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks, fired multiple shots at Trump, 78, injuring the Republican leader's right ear.
The suspected shooter was killed by Secret Service service agents, with the FBI investigating the matter as a potential “domestic terrorism” act. The federal probe agency said Crooks, a resident of Pennsylvania’s Bethel Park, appeared to have acted alone.
The attempted assassination of Trump left one person dead, and two more attendees still in critical but stable condition. Though Trump received only minor injuries, it was a close shave as some photographs appear to show the streak of a bullet cutting through the air near the former president’s head.
