In a shocking turn of events, a failed assassination attempt was made on former President Donald Trump during a rally in Pennsylvania. The incident occurred on July 13, 2024, and has since sent shockwaves across the nation.
On the evening of July 13, during a rally in Pennsylvania, shots were fired at President Trump. The Secret Service acted swiftly, immediately taking the former president to a safe location. It was later revealed that Trump sustained an injury to his right ear, which was grazed by a bullet.
The shooter has been identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks, a 20-year-old resident of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania. Crooks was killed on the scene by a Secret Service assault team. Investigations into his motives and how he managed to get close enough to fire at the former president are still ongoing.
The incident has sparked a wave of reactions across the country. This shocking event has raised questions about the security of public figures and the current state of political discourse in the United States. House Speaker Mike Johnson has called for a “cooling down” of political rhetoric and has promised a full investigation into the incident.
President Trump has expressed his gratitude for the quick response of the Secret Service and his supporters. In a statement, he thanked everyone for their prayers and well wishes, and assured the public that he is doing well despite the ordeal. We are posting a copy of that along with the response of Melania Trump. Now is the time for us to unite and come together in strength and solidarity. Additionally, our prayers go out to the supporters that were injured at the Rally and our prayers to the families and for the lives that were lost. A go fund me has been set up for them and has raised over $1.7 Million Dollars.
