During former President Trump's rally, a gunman identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks purchased ammunition shortly before attempting to assassinate Trump, as reported by a federal law enforcement source. Crooks fired on Trump with a rifle, hitting him in the right ear and injuring three others in the crowd. Tragically, one individual was killed, and two others were critically injured, including Corey Comperatore who died while shielding his family.
