A man fired multiple shots toward the stage during former President Donald J. Trumps rally in Butler, Pa., on Saturday evening, killing one spectator and critically injuring two others, according to the Secret Service.

Mr. Trump was rushed off the stage, blood visible around his right ear, and was pronounced fine. The Secret Service said its agents had killed the shooter, whom federal law enforcement officials identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks, a 20-year-old from Bethel Park, Pa.

The attorney generals office and the F.B.I. are investigating the shooting as an assassination attempt and possible domestic terrorism attack.

Heres what we know about the shooting.

Mr. Trump ducked quickly after the shots began and as members of the crowd began to scream. Secret Service agents then rushed Mr. Trump off the stage. As he was escorted to his motorcade, Mr. Trump, whose face and right ear were bloodied, pumped his fist in a defiant gesture to the crowd.

He later said in a post on Truth Social, his social media platform, that he had been shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear.
