Trump says he was shot at rally in assassination attempt; spectator killed and shooter dead
Former President Donald Trump says he was shot in the ear after a gunman perched on the roof of a nearby building opened fire at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday -- a harrowing incident that the FBI called an assassination attempt. The shooting, which set the country on edge on the eve of the Republican National Convention, left one spectator dead, two others critically injured, and sparked chaos at the event. As the former president spoke, shots crackled and Trump, hand to his ear, dropped to the ground where he was surrounded by agents before behind hustled off the stage into a waiting car amid the screams and confusion of the crowd. The shooting, which is being investigated by the FBI overseen by the Justice Department's National Security Division, as well as the U.S. attorney's office in Pittsburgh, comes amid a heightened threat environment. The Secret Service, in a statement, said that a shooter "fired multiple shots toward the stage from an elevated position outside of the rally venue" after which agents "neutralized the shooter, who is now deceased."

Alec Baldwin trial day 3: Jury dismissed as court discusses motion to dismiss case over ammo evidence
The jury has been dismissed for the day in Alec Baldwin's manslaughter trial while the court discusses a motion filed by the defense claiming live ammunition that came into the hands of local law enforcement related to the investigation into the deadly on-set "Rust" shooting was "concealed" from them. In an expedited motion filed late Thursday, the defense argued the case should be dismissed over the handling of the ammunition evidence. During court on Friday, the state argued the evidence has no exculpatory value and is not relevant to Baldwin's case. The court is on break before hearing anticipated testimony on the matter, including from Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office Cpl. Alexandra Hancock, the lead detective in the case, and Seth Kenney, who supplied the film with firearms, blanks and dummy rounds. The matter was initially raised during court on Thursday, the second day of the actor's involuntary manslaughter trial over the death of "Rust" cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, who was fatally shot by Baldwin on the Santa Fe set of the Western in October 2021 when his revolver fired a live round.
