1. Donald Trump

20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, tried to assassinate former president Donald Trump and fired no less than eight rounds. He killed someone in the crowd and critically injured two people. As for our political reader, he was lucky he turned his head when he heard buzzing, and he only got a wounded ear.

The politician seemed a bit shocked after he started bleeding, but he kept his attitude positive, stayed calm, and went to the hospital a few hours later. According to sources, the shooter was a lone actor, and he fired with a semiautomatic AR-style rifle, legally purchased in 2013 and registered to his father, Matthew Crooks.

After his assassination attempt, Crooks was fatally shot by a Secret Service sniper. At the moment, the police are doing everything they can to find out the motive behind such a tragic event. They asked Crooks’ former teachers, colleagues, and family about what kind of person he was, and everyone said he was nice, lonely, and never had trouble with the police.
