On July 13, 2024, Donald Trump, the former president of the United States and at that time the Republican Party's presumptive nominee in the 2024 presidential election, was shot and wounded at a campaign rally near Butler, Pennsylvania. Trump was speaking to the audience when he was shot by Thomas Matthew Crooks, a 20-year-old man from Bethel Park, Pennsylvania. Crooks fired eight rounds from an AR-15–style rifle from the roof of a nearby building outside the rally venue, killing 50-year-old Corey Comperatore in the audience, and critically injuring two other audience members. Crooks was immediately killed by a Secret Service Counter Assault Team sniper.
Trump was the subject of a second "apparent assassination attempt" after gunshots rang out at his Florida golf club at around 1pm local time (7.45pm BST) on Sunday, September 15, 2023.
The FBI has confirmed suspect Ryan Routh "did not fire any shots" in the failed assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump.
