During a campaign event in Pennsylvania, Donald Trump sustained an injury to his ear. His campaign later stated that he is in stable condition and doing well.

Security Scrutiny and Investigation
One of the most pressing questions following the attack concerned how the shooter gained access to an elevated vantage point within rifle range of the stage.

Security experts noted that large outdoor events present complex challenges, particularly in identifying and securing every potential high ground location in surrounding areas.

The United States Secret Service faced intense scrutiny. Lawmakers called for briefings, and internal reviews were initiated to evaluate the planning and execution of the event’s security measures. Coordination between federal agents and local law enforcement became a focal point of inquiry.
