Former President Donald Trump had an attempted assassination on July 13 th in Pennsylvania that has shaken the political world.
Trump said a bullet hit his ear, and one other attendee, as well as the gunman, were killed.
The incident sparked questions about security protocols and the shooter’s motives, and it took place just days before thousands of people descended on Milwaukee for the Republican National Convention.
Former President Trump also announced his running mate on Monday, Ohio Senator J.D. Vance.
Republicans have shown unity at the convention with many of Trump’s formal GOP rivals giving him their full endorsement.
Other Republican leaders feel Vance is a good pick for Vice President.

Brooke County Commissioner President, A.J. Thomas says this bridge replacement project is vital for residents on both sides of the river.
Noxx Yager is a typical 4-year-old in his love of dinosaurs and slides.
But for most of his life, his playtime came with pain many of his young friends couldn’t understand.

After four surgeries and multiple doctors, Jennifer Diserio, a nurse practitioner at Easterseals, knew something deeper was going on.
Diserio helped Noxx get a second opinion from WVU Children’s in Morgantown, where it was discovered, he had a tethered cord.
Noxx’s mom credits Diserio for saving her son’s life.
