Former US President Donald Trump narrowly escaped an assassination attempt during a rally in Pennsylvania on July 13. An unidentified man opened fire, injuring Trump`s right ear before being swiftly neutralized by FBI agents at the scene. The alleged shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20 years old, was identified through a video from his high school graduation in 2022 at Bethel Park High School. According to reports, Crooks was frequently bullied during his school years, often sitting alone at lunch and mocked for his attire. The FBI stated they are investigating but have not found any specific motives or mental health issues linked to Crooks. Despite the scare, Trump continued with his campaign activities, while the incident has sparked national concern and scrutiny.
