United States – Currently, the Inspector General of the US Department of Homeland Security is looking into the matter regarding the planning of a rally held in Butler, Pennsylvania, over the weekend where a man attempted to kill former President Donald Trump.

IMPORTANT

Millennials at the Republican presidential candidate’s rally in Pennsylvania have been raised following the shooting of the former president on Saturday at the event. The FBI stated that it had started investigating the shooting as an attempted assassination, as reported by Reuters.

The shooting has left many questions about how the suspect armed himself with a gun to get to a nearby rooftop with a clear view of where Trump was.

Trump has since claimed that he was doing well, and he attended the Republican National Convention this week after the shooting, which left his face covered in blood as his right ear was injured. One person at the rally was killed, while the other two were injured, and the shooter was also deceased.
