Context by Compass

The claim that Donald Trump was shot is accurate. On July 13, 2024, former President Donald Trump was indeed the target of an assassination attempt during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Trump was grazed in the ear by a bullet, and the incident resulted in the death of one spectator and critical injuries to two others. The shooter, identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks, was neutralized by Secret Service agents. The FBI has been investigating the incident, and the motive behind the attack remains unclear. This information has been corroborated by multiple reputable sources, including CBS News, CNN, and ABC News.
