BUTLER, Pa. (AP) — Former President Donald Trump was the target of an assassination attempt at a Pennsylvania rally, days before he was to accept the Republican nomination for a third time. A barrage of gunfire set off panic Saturday, and a bloodied Trump was surrounded by Secret Service and hurried to his SUV as he pumped his fist in a show of defiance. Trump’s campaign said the presumptive GOP nominee was doing “fine” after the shooting, which he said pierced the upper part of his right ear. The FBI early Sunday named 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, as the subject involved in the assassination attempt. A local prosecutor said the suspected gunman and at least one attendee were dead.
