did they catch who shot trump

Yes. The person who shot at Donald Trump at his July 2024 rally in Butler, Pennsylvania was Thomas Matthew Crooks , a 20‑year‑old man from Bethel Park, Pennsylvania. He was killed at the scene by Secret Service and law‑enforcement officers after opening fire on the stage.

What happened at the rally

  • Crooks fired multiple shots from an elevated position outside the rally venue, striking Trump in the ear and killing one attendee while injuring several others.
  • Secret Service agents returned fire and neutralized him within seconds; no other shooter was identified.

Investigation outcome

  • Federal investigators concluded that Crooks acted alone and had planned the attack for weeks, purchasing a rifle and ammunition beforehand.
  • Authorities have not publicly tied him to any broader conspiracy, though his online activity and political leanings have been widely discussed in media and forums.

If you’re asking about a different alleged shooting incident involving Trump (for example, a rumor or unverified event in 2026), there is no credible public report of another such attack, and no new suspect has been announced.
