On July 13, 2024, President Donald J. Trump was shot at a political rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. President Trump was referencing a graph on a presentation display off to the side of the stage, when he turned his head toward the graph. Then he turned his head again for a split second, when he said a bullet grazed his ear. The 45th President then grabbed his right ear with his hand, took one look at the resulting blood and ducked under his podium behind bulletproof glass on the stage.

Who Shot Trump

The U.S. Secret Service detail then states they responded to the incoming gunfire by identifying a gunman lying atop the roof of a nearby building, shooting him, leading to that person’s death. Who shot Trump is now part of an investigation to determine who is responsible for the attempted assassination of President Trump.

Why It’s Important

It is now important to determine truly who shot Trump. The FBI is now leading an investigation into who shot Trump, why and whether other individuals are involved. But we believe a broader independent investigation is necessary to determine who shot Trump.

The Name of Person Who Shot Trump

The name identified by the FBI of the person who shot Trump is Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20 years old, of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania.
