Deaths2 (the perpetrator and a rally attendee)[2]
Injured3+ (including Donald Trump)[3]

On July 13, 2024, former United States president Donald Trump was wounded in one ear in a shooting at a rally held at a showgrounds in Connoquenessing Township, west of Butler, Pennsylvania.[4] Law enforcement and witnesses stated that the shooter fired from a roof outside the rally venue using an AR-15 style semi-automatic rifle, before being killed by a Secret Service counter-assault team member.[5]

Trump was shot and wounded in the upper right ear before being surrounded by the Secret Service and rushed to a vehicle. He was then sent to the hospital, where he was later released in stable condition.[6][7] Federal and local officials reported that the suspected shooter and a rally attendee were killed, while two attendees were critically injured.[2][8]

The shooting is being investigated as an attempted assassination.[8] This would mark the first time that a former or current U.S. president or presidential candidate was injured in an attempted assassination since incumbent President Ronald Reagan was shot in 1981.[9]

Background

Former president Donald Trump is the presumptive Republican nominee for the 2024 United States presidential election.[10] The rally was held as part of his presidential campaign for the election in order to raise votes in the swing state of Pennsylvania.[11] The shooting occurred two days before the Republican National Convention to be held on July 15, 2024.

Trump's rallies are screened for prohibited items, including weapons.[4] Butler County Republican Committee chairman James E. Hulings estimated 50,000 people were at the rally.[12]

In 2020, Trump won 65 percent of the vote in Butler County, Pennsylvania—where the rally was held—compared to Biden's 33%.[13]

Shooting

At around 6:11 pm Eastern Daylight Time, gunshots were heard at a Donald Trump rally in Connoquenessing Township west of Meridian, Pennsylvania,[14][15] six minutes into Trump's speech.[16] At least three rallygoers were hit, leaving one person dead and two in critical condition.[17] Blood was visible in the left-hand bleachers at the venue.[18] The shooter did not undergo security screening as they were reportedly outside the security perimeter of the rally, and was killed by United States Secret Service snipers soon after the shooting.[19]

Secret Service agents lunged toward Trump and shielded him, who, after around 25 seconds on the ground,[16] got up and, with blood on his face, raised and pumped his fist at the crowd. He was then escorted to a vehicle.[20] A spokesman for the Secret Service confirmed that "an incident occurred" and affirmed that Trump was "safe".[21] He was shortly afterwards examined at a local medical facility, according to campaign spokesman Steven Cheung, who also affirmed that Trump was "fine".[22] Trump later stated on Truth Social that "[he] was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of [his] right ear".[23]

According to Butler County district attorney Richard Goldinger, an alleged perpetrator and an audience member were killed.[24] At least one other person is in critical condition.[25][26] According to Goldinger, authorities have yet to determine the shooter's identity.[26]

According to the Secret Service, an AR-15 style rifle was used in the shooting.[27]

Aftermath

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is leading an investigation with the Department of Justice, the United States Secret Service, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.[28][29] The incident is being investigated as an assassination attempt.[9][30] It is the first time a current or former U.S. president or presidential candidate has been shot since Ronald Reagan in 1981.[9]

Misinformation spread on social media shortly after the attack, alleging without evidence that the shooting was carried out by the deep state, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Antifa, or transgender rights activists.[31] Some claimed the incident to be staged.[32] Some claimed Joe Biden ordered the attack.[33]

An image of a bloodied Trump pumping his fist in the air taken by Evan Vucci of the Associated Press was spread on social media shortly afterwards. Politico called it "an opportunity to tout conspiracy theories and stoke political tensions" by many.[34] Nico Hines of The Daily Beast called it "one of the most iconic photos in American history".[35] Another image, as reported by Axios, taken by Anna Moneymaker, was spread by his prominent political allies as a "rallying symbol".[36]

After the shooting, Trump made a statement on Truth Social where he thanked law enforcement and secret service and offered his condolences to the families of the person killed and the injured person.[37][38] Additionally he said "It is incredible that such an act can take place in our Country. Nothing is known at this time about the shooter, who is now dead. I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear. I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin. Much bleeding took place, so I realized then what was happening."[39]

In the aftermath of the shooting, security at Trump Tower was increased by the New York City Police Department.[40]

Mexican president Andrés Manuel López Obrador tweeted "Be that as it may, we condemn what happened to former President Donald Trump. Violence is irrational and inhumane."[65]
