Trump is struck by a bullet grazing his right ear and raises his fist as Secret Service surrounds him in a widely circulated image. One rally attendee is killed and two others critically wounded. The gunman is killed by Secret Service. A second assassination attempt occurs September 15 in West Palm Beach, Florida, where a rifle-armed man is apprehended at a golf course.
