An assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump during a campaign rally in Butler County, Pennsylvania, has left the nation in shock.
The assailant was neutralized by the Secret Service, but the attack resulted in the death of a rally attendee who heroically dived on his family to protect them, and left another person critically injured. Both victims are receiving care at Allegheny General Hospital. Despite the attack, Trump has confirmed his attendance at the upcoming Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.
The incident has sparked a political firestorm, with top Republicans pointing fingers at President Biden for the security lapse, while the country grapples with the implications of such violence on its democratic fabric.
