Shooting Ex-President Wounded in Ear

Suspected Shooter is Killed by Secret Service

WASHINGTON - Former President Donald Trump was fine Saturday night after an assassination attempt left him with a bullet wound to the ear. The FBI has confirmed the name of the alleged gunman as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks. In a statement, federal investigators said Crooks was killed by Secret Service agents after he opened fire on Trump's motorcade as it left a rally in Miami.

In addition to the shooter, a rally attendee was killed. Goldinger told the Associated Press that the victim was a 60-year-old woman who was sitting near the stage when the shooting began.

The Secret Service said in a statement that Crooks was armed with a handgun and had a history of mental illness. He was not known to have any ties to terrorist groups.

The shooting is still under investigation, but authorities said they do not believe it was an act of terrorism. Trump was taken to a local hospital for treatment of his wound, which was not considered life-threatening. He was released from the hospital a few hours later.

The shooting has raised concerns about the safety of former presidents, who are often targeted by protesters and other groups. The Secret Service said it is reviewing its security protocols in light of the incident.

Conclusion

The assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump is a reminder of the dangers that our leaders face. While the Secret Service did a commendable job in protecting Trump from harm, the incident raises questions about the adequacy of security measures for former presidents.
