A 20-year-old fired eight rounds from a rooftop 130 metres away in Butler, Pennsylvania on 13 July 2024, killing a spectator and wounding two others before being shot dead. Trump was hit in the ear and stood with his fist raised as agents moved him; the photograph became one of the defining images of the campaign. The head of the Secret Service resigned ten days later.
