Former President Donald Trump narrowly survived an assassination attempt during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, by turning his head to look at an immigration chart, which caused the bullet to graze his ear instead of hitting his head directly. The assailant, identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks, fired multiple shots from a rooftop before being killed by Secret Service agents. Trump credited the chart, provided by Sen. Ron Johnson, with saving his life. Witnesses recounted the chaos and the quick response by Secret Service agents who shielded Trump and evacuated him from the stage. The incident is being compared to the 1981 assassination attempt on President Ronald Reagan in terms of its potential impact on Trump's political trajectory.
