The background crowd of supporters are seen reacting as former President Donald Trump falls to his knees behind the podium surrounded by his security detail after loud gunshots rang out at a rally Saturday, at Butler County Fairgrounds.

A gunman shot at former President Donald Trump on Saturday evening, July 13, 2024, at the Butler Farm Show grounds, killing one spectator and critically injuring two others before being killed, according to the Secret Service.

When Trump emerged from behind the podium, surrounded by Secret Service agents, blood could be seen on his face as he defiantly pumped his fist in the air as he was led to an awaiting SUV.

In a news conference that began shortly before midnight, authorities said they were investigating the incident as an assassination attempt. Early Sunday morning, the FBI identified the suspected gunman as Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, of Bethel Park.
