Suspect came within inches of killing Trump, but left few clues as to why
The portrait pieced together so far of the 20-year-old nursing home aide who allegedly tried to assassinate Donald Trump at an election rally reveals frustratingly little about why he would make such an attempt - or how he managed to come so close to killing the former president.
The early details that have emerged about Thomas Matthew Crooks, who was shot dead by law enforcement, show a young man working an entry-level job near his hometown in Pennsylvania, where he graduated from high school in 2022 with a reputation as a bright but quiet classmate. His high school counselor described him as "respectful" and said he never knew Crooks to be political.
The FBI said on Sunday that Crooks' social media profile does not contain threatening language, nor have they found any history of mental health issues. They said he acted alone and have not identified a motive.

Democrats step back from Biden after Trump assassination attempt, but uncertainty persists
In the aftermath of an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania, Democrats are treading cautiously, navigating a complex landscape of political ramifications and moral considerations, The Hill reported.
President Joe Biden, out of respect for Trump and in response to the tragic events, has suspended all political activities, including the cessation of political advertisements. This pause has prompted introspection among Biden's allies and party operatives, who are grappling with the potential impact of this dramatic turn of events on the presidential race.
"There are more questions than answers right now," admitted a top Democratic strategist and close Biden ally. "I don't think anyone knows how this will turn out, even this week. There are so many unknowns," as reported by The Hill.
The debate over Biden's candidacy, particularly concerning his age and mental acuity, has been temporarily shelved. Multiple Democratic sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, acknowledged the sensitivity of the topic in the immediate aftermath of the shooting.

Stocks mixed, dollar rises as traders weigh Trump shooting
Asian markets were mixed Monday as investors weigh the impact of the assassination attempt on Donald Trump with data suggesting it has boosted his chances of being re-elected president.
Eyes are also on a key meeting of China's top leadership in Beijing, with hopes for measures to boost the world's number two economy, which grew less than expected in the second quarter.
Investors struggled to extend the rally enjoyed on Wall Street, where all three main indexes ended on a positive note despite a forecast-topping read on US wholesale prices.
The figures were not enough to overshadow Thursday's news that the consumer price index had slowed more than expected in June, which ramped up bets on a Federal Reserve interest rate cut in September.

Secret Service under scrutiny after shooting at Trump rally
President Joe Biden called for an independent examination of the security protocols in place before and after the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, which occurred the day prior. Biden also instructed the Secret Service to assess all of its security measures for the upcoming Republican National Convention.

Within a day of Trump being wounded at a campaign event in Butler, Pennsylvania, congressional members pledged to hold hearings, and former law enforcement officials questioned the Secret Service's decision not to include the warehouse roof, from which the would-be assassin, Thomas Matthew Crooks of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, fired shots, within their security perimeter, despite it being within the range of certain firearms.
