A year has passed since gunfire interrupted a Donald Trump campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, in what authorities called an assassination attempt on the former U.S. president. Trump had just begun speaking on July 13, 2024, when shots rang out. He grabbed his right ear — grazed by a bullet — and ducked behind the podium as Secret Service agents rushed in. One supporter was killed, two others wounded, and the suspected shooter, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, was fatally shot by law enforcement. Footage showed Trump being helped off-stage, his face bloodied. Moments later, he raised a clenched fist to the crowd as he was rushed to a waiting vehicle. Investigators later said Crooks had climbed onto a rooftop using an air-conditioning unit. A rifle, explosives, and tactical gear were recovered from the scene and his car. No clear motive has been publicly disclosed. In a post later that day, Trump wrote: “I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear... Much bleeding took place, so I realized then what was happening. GOD BLESS AMERICA!” Then President Joe Biden called for unity in the aftermath, warning that politics “must never be a literal battlefield.” The attack came just ahead of the Republican National Convention, where Trump appeared with a bandage on his ear and formally accepted his party’s nomination. He frequently referenced the shooting on the campaign trail, saying, “Last week I took a bullet for democracy.”

Several hundred people have gathered for a worship ceremony at a high school stadium in Texas. The vigil was held Wednesday evening to remember of the at least 120 people who died in the catastrophic flash floods over the July Fourth holiday. More than 160 are still believed to be missing in hard-hit Kerr County. People in the crowd clutched one another and brushed away tears during the vigil. Search crews and volunteers are continuing to scour miles along the Guadalupe River for the people still missing. The floods are now the deadliest from inland flooding in the U.S. since 1976.

Ukrainian officials say that Russia pounded the capital with yet another major missile and drone attack. At least least two people were killed in the attack overnight into Thursday. The strikes caused fires across Kyiv a day after the heaviest aerial attack of the war so far. An official in Kyiv said at least 19 people were wounded in the latest barrage. Russia has recently sought to overwhelm Ukraine’s air defenses with major attacks that include increasing numbers of decoy drones. The pressure has caused alarm among Ukrainian officials who are uncertain about continuing vital military aid from the United States and U.S. President Donald Trump’s policy toward Russia.
