    A shooting at Donald Trump ‘s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania is being investigated as an attempted assassination of the former president and presumptive Republican nominee, law enforcement officials say.

    One attendee was killed and two were critically injured. Trump said on social media that a bullet “pierced the upper part” of his right ear before agents whisked him off stage.

    The Secret Service said it killed the suspected shooter, who attacked from an elevated position outside the rally venue.

    The FBI named Thomas Matthew Crooks , 20, of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, as the suspected shooter behind the assassination attempt.

    State police have identified the person who was killed and two people who were critically injured — all adult males — but didn’t release names at a news briefing early Sunday.
