According to “Gateway Pundit”, President Trump was almost assassinated by a 20-year-old Democratic donor named Thomas Matthew Crooks at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania last night.
After Trump was shot, he immediately covered his neck and his ears were bleeding. Video recordings from the scene also show Trump crouching down immediately after hearing the initial gunshots.
Secret Service agents immediately protected Trump and guided him away from further harm. Despite his injuries, Trump raised his fists and yelled “Fight!” as he charged into the crowd multiple times.
Although Trump almost escaped death, an American patriot died and two other attendees were seriously injured and are currently in critical condition.
Now, a new report suggests the Crook family may have plans beyond just assassinating Trump. The Wall Street Journal revealed today that the gunman had an “explosive device” in his car. No further details about these devices are known at this time.
On Saturday, Crooks’ car was parked near a Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Imagine how many people could be injured or killed if these devices were detonated.
From the Wall Street Journal:
Authorities found an explosive device in the car of a man who officials say was trying to assassinate former President Trump, according to people familiar with the investigation.
The car driven by Thomas Matthew Crooks was parked near a Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday.
Authorities said police received multiple reports of suspicious packages near the shooter’s location, prompting them to dispatch bomb technicians.
Investigators are still working to ensure the scene remains visible at night. They also searched Crooks’ home and spoke with his family.
The FBI still claims the shooter’s motive remains unclear.
