A man tries to kill Donald Trump – level 1

16-07-2024 07:00

A man tries to kill former President Donald Trump. The attack happens at a rally in Pennsylvania.

Trump is hurt in his right ear but is okay. One person dies, and two others are badly hurt. The FBI knows the man’s name. He is Thomas Matthew Crooks. He is 20 years old. The Secret Service kills him. The FBI is looking into why Crooks does this.

President Biden calls the attack sick. He says that such things should not happen in America. The FBI and police are working together to find out more. Trump will go to the Republican meeting on Monday. He does not change his plans.

Difficult words: former (in the past), rally (a large meeting in front of many people), sick (very bad).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.

What is President Biden's response to the attack on former President Trump and how are law enforcement agencies working together to investigate the incident?
