- What happened: Trump was injured Saturday evening during his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, in what the FBI says was an assassination attempt. The gunman and at least one audience member are dead, the Secret Service said, and two other attendees are critically injured. Trump said he was hit by a bullet in the "upper part of my right ear." Follow live updates.
- The suspect: Authorities identified the gunman as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania. Crooks fired multiple shots at Trump while perched on the rooftop of a nearby building outside the rally's security perimeter, authorities said, and was killed by Secret Service agents.
- Chaotic scene: Witnesses described the moments after the shooting as "pure insanity." Rico Elmore told CNN that he jumped over a barricade to comfort an individual who was bleeding after being shot.
- Reaction: President Joe Biden spoke with Trump after the shooting and denounced the violence in remarks. Biden returned to the White House from Delaware earlier than planned so he can continue receiving briefings from law enforcement.
- Analysis: The attempted assassination opens a dark new chapter in America's cursed story of political violence.

WEDNESDAY The State Opening of Parliament takes place in the UK, marking the formal start of the parliamentary year and setting out the government's agenda for the 2024-25 session. The event includes The King's Speech, which will be read in the House of Lords chamber by King Charles III. The speech is written by the government and contains an outline of its policies and proposed legislation for the new session. The State Opening of Parliament starts with a ceremonial search of the cellars in the Houses of Parliament, commemorating Guy Fawkes' "gunpowder plot" of 1605. The iconic Mirage Hotel and Casino on the Las Vegas Strip will shut its doors after more than three decades in business. Opened in 1989 by casino mogul Steve Wynn, the Mirage ushered in an era of luxe resorts for the Strip and was the first resort to have a sidewalk attraction with its erupting volcano, prompting the Bellagio and Venetian to imitate it with dancing fountains and canals, respectively. The resort will undergo a three-year renovation and reopen in 2027 as Hard Rock Las Vegas, with a soaring 700-foot-tall hotel tower in the shape of a guitar, similar to its Florida property, with the volcano being destroyed to make space for new rooms. THURSDAY Trump will formally accept the nomination to be the Republican Party's 2024 presidential nominee on the final day of the Republican National Convention. |
