UPDATE: 2 killed during assassination attempt on Donald J. Trump
The FBI has identified the shooter as Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, from Bethel Park, Pennsylvania. Authorities say he fired multiple shots from a building rooftop just outside the rally venue before he was killed by Secret Service agents.
A 50-year-old man was also shot dead during the ordeal. Corey Comperatore, who was a spectator at the rally, reportedly dived on his family to protect them but was fatally shot.
Mr Trump said he was shot in the ear, describing a "bullet ripping through skin".
President Joseph R. Biden has condemned the assassination attempt and has ordered an independent review of security measures at the campaign rally.

Bloodied Trump rushed off stage after possible gunshots @ Pennsylvania rally
Former United States President Donald J. Trump was rushed off the stage by the Secret Service at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, July 13, 2024, after apparent gunshots rang out.
Fox News reported that gunfire appeared to break out shortly after Trump began speaking at the rally at Butler Farm Showgrounds on Saturday evening.
The former president had just begun to fire up the crowd when as many as five shots were heard, and he went down, surrounded by Secret Service agents.
"And then the worst president in the history of our country took over. And look what happened to our country. Probably 20 million people [came in illegally]. And, you know, that's a little bit old, that chart... that chart's a couple of months old. And if you want to really see something that sad, take a look at what happened over..." Trump said before gunfire rang out.
As they led him away, with what appeared to be blood on his cheek and his right ear, he raised his arms defiantly.
Trump was heard telling his security team, "let me get my shoes," as they brought him to his feet and hustled him off-stage.
In a statement, the Secret Service spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi said that they have "implemented protective measures."
"An incident occurred the evening of July 13 at a Trump rally in Pennsylvania," said Guglielmi.
"The Secret Service has implemented protective measures and the former President is safe. This is now an active Secret Service investigation and further information will be released when available," it added.

Now you 'bout to feel the wrath of a menace
"Your comments are disgusting. This site should find you and have you arrested for violence"
Anyone calling for political violence is wrong yet people can not bear to tolerate another opinion. People go crazy attacking trump supporters, and the shooting was a culmination of society wide thirst for violence.
Going to sleep under Biden's & the EU bed time stories isnt much better than the truth. Elon Musk exposed them for trying to pay a secret censorship deal to manipulate social media news. Trump will come in like a wrecking ball. Ukraine war funds done, Israel put back on a leash.
90 Palestinians killed in recent safe zone bombing to kill 1 hamas fighter. I dont think Trump will stand for that either while these other leaders shuffle their feet & look away.
there you go
How in the world was that person able to breach all that security ?
Think people !
Shooting a couple of people were in the plan to make it real, it's called collateral damage
Trump has a lot to loose if he doest win, maybe jail time, huge fines and many more cases... he simply must win so he can throw those out and go after his opponents
Look at the moment he got shot, he touched his ear yet no blood on his hand, when he was on the floor hidden that's when he put blood on his ear. The shooter was misled thinking he was doing an act put of loyalty but he had to die, he was the patsy. Remember Oswald was the Patsy for JF Kennedy assassination, then out of the blue Jack Ruby a gangster came our of nowhere and shot Oswald, what ever happened to Jack Ruby? Right.... there is more to this than we see before us, Trump and his team plotted this for the pity votes and undecided votes, Call me stupid, just wait
Remember they said the court proceedings were hoax and orchestrated by the major and judge.
Remember everything against the orangutan is fake.
But July 13th, they can call it an attempted assassination with people hearing gun shots and not budging like an audience waiting to be directed when to clap. #stage #fake #sympathy votes #waste of taxpayers money #poor youthman used as collateral #followers going jeopardize their lives for what #not my vote ???????? has fallen
I agree with you. He is not to be trusted. He was the same person who had his people storm the white house and so many people get hurt. In other words what goes around comes around. Sorry it happens, he said if he don't win it will have blood shed. The funniest thing is one of his own. Kluxx klan.
Stop lick out Biden old bum.
Don’t talk what you don’t know! He said NOTHING about blood shed!
WOW
