Thomas Matthew, a 20-year-old from Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, was identified as the gunman who shot and injured former President Donald Trump at a rally. Positioned on a nearby rooftop, Matthew fired shots that grazed Trump's ear before being killed by Secret Service snipers. The motive remains unknown as the FBI investigates. Trump, treated for his injuries, was quickly taken to a local hospital. Authorities have not confirmed if Matthew acted alone in what's described as an assassination attempt. President Biden spoke with Trump and is monitoring the situation closely with law enforcement.
