FBI identifies suspect; Trump says bullet grazed ear: Recap

Former President Trump was rushed off stage after shots rang out at his rally in Butler, Pa., on Saturday, an incident that plunged the election into uncharted territory just days before the Republican National Convention.

The FBI has identified the suspect involved in what it called an assassination attempt against Trump as Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, of Bethel Park, Pa.

Trump said later in a post on Truth Social that his ear was grazed by a bullet.

At least one rally attendee was killed and another one was injured, according to the local district attorney. The suspected shooter was also killed, he said.
