In Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, July 13, the 20-year-old made an attempt to kill Trump as he was campaigning.

Trump was slightly injured by multiple bullets fired by Crooks, but the US Secret Service killed him right away.

Shots were heard in the evening as Trump, dressed in a dark jacket, bright red MAGA cap, and white shirt, spoke out against illegal immigration.

He said, “Take a look at what happened,” before four guns fired in short succession interrupted h

Just prior to the fifth and sixth bullets, Trump grasped his right ear in response to recurrent cries of “Get down!”

The Secret Service encircled the former president in moments, and he ducked behind the lectern. The crowd let out screams.

More gunfire broke out in four seconds, sending more fans to the ground as more operatives hurried to the stage.

A final pop was heard seventeen seconds after the first gunfire, and the woman's scream came next.

Supporters shouted “USA!” as the former leader was led off the platform while wearing his MAGA cap.

Trump left the platform after pausing momentarily to raise his fist in the air.

Trump lifted his fist again and turned briefly toward the crowd just before he vanished into an SUV, only two minutes after the assassination attempt started.

Security personnel in khaki fatigues arrived on the scene, heavily armed, as the automobile drove off.
