- Story Text: Drone footage captured on Sunday (July 14) police presence at the site in Butler, Pennsylvania where former U.S. President Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt on Saturday (July 13).
Trump, 78, was holding a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania - one of the states expected to be most competitive in the Nov. 5 election - when shots rang out, hitting his right ear and streaking his face with blood. His campaign said he was doing well and appeared to have suffered no major injury besides a wound on his upper right ear.
Pat English, a neighbor who lives near the area of the incident told Reuters he was in his deck when the shots went off. He said the area where the rally was being held got emptied within an hour after the shooting.
The FBI identified Thomas Matthew Crooks of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, as the suspect in what it called an attempted assassination. He was a registered Republican, according to state voter records and had made a $15 donation to a Democratic political action committee at the age of 17.
Secret Service agents fatally shot the suspect, the agency said, after he opened fire from the roof of a building about 150 yards (140 m) from the stage where Trump was speaking. An AR-15-style semiautomatic rifle used in the shooting was recovered near his body, according to sources.
