On July 13, 2024, then-presidential candidate Donald Trump narrowly survived an attempt on his life during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. The attacker, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, fired multiple rounds, grazing Trump’s ear, killing one rally attendee and injuring several others.<\/p>\n

The shooter was killed by a counter-sniper team that returned fire, though the incident was later branded “foreseeable and preventable”<\/em> by a US Senate inquiry.<\/p>\n

Just two months later, on September 15, Trump was allegedly the target of a second assassination attempt when a heavily armed pro-Ukraine shooter was spotted outside the US president’s golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida. The suspect, Ryan Routh, was apprehended by the Secret Service and has since chosen to represent himself in court and challenged Trump to a game of golf.<\/p>\n

Minnesota House Speaker assassination<\/strong><\/p>\n

Minnesota Democratic leader Melissa Hortman and her husband were shot dead at their home on June 14, 2025. State senator John Hoffman and his wife were wounded in a related attack the same night and barely survived.<\/p>\n

The suspect, Vance Luther Boelter, a 57-year-old with military experience and a past as a private contractor, was apprehended and taken into custody after a two-day manhunt. Prosecutors claim he planned and carried out the targeted political assassination and had a list of some 70 other targets.<\/p>\n

Illinois violence<\/strong><\/p>\n

On December 18, 2024, right-wing influencer Nick Fuentes said a man armed with a pistol, a crossbow, and incendiary devices showed up at his house in Berwyn, Illinois, while he was live-streaming. <\/p>\n

The individual turned out to be a triple homicide suspect, who was shot and killed by police following a chase, shortly after his encounter with Fuentes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
