A man tries to kill Donald Trump – level 2
16-07-2024 07:00
The FBI named Thomas Matthew Crooks as the man who tried to kill former US President Donald Trump.
The incident happened at a rally in Pennsylvania where Trump was speaking. There were gunshots, and Trump started to bleed from his right ear but was not seriously hurt. One person died, and two others were seriously injured. The Secret Service killed the 20-year-old Crooks. The FBI is dealing with the incident as an assassination attempt. President Biden called the attack sick and said there is no place for such things in America.
The FBI and local police are investigating Crooks’ motive. Trump didn’t change his plans and wants to attend the Republican National Convention on Monday.
Difficult words: rally (a large public meeting), assassination (killing an important person), motive (reason for doing something).
You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
