Former US President Donald Trump narrowly escaped an assassination attempt at a rally, where a spectator was killed, and two others were seriously injured. Trump, describing the incident, said he felt saved by luck or God and is grateful for the opportunity to bring the country together. The would-be assassin was named as Thomas Matthew Crooks. Trump has since decided to continue with his schedule and attend the Republican National Convention.
In response to the attack, President Biden called for a reduction in political hostility, emphasizing that differences should be resolved at the ballot box and not through violence. The FBI is investigating whether Crooks acted alone and looking into possible accomplices in the attack. The tragic event has underscored the need for unity and political discourse.
