The final rally for former President and current Presidential Candidate Donald Trump prior to the Republican National Convention turns deadly.

Multiple media reports indicate that Trump was the apparent target of an assassination attempt earlier Saturday evening at the rally in Pennsylvania. The shooter has been identified as 20-year-old Thomas Crooks Matthews, who got onto to the roof of a nearby building and opened fire just as Trump was beginning his speech. Trump was hit in the right ear by a bullet with other bullets killing one spectator with two others critically injured. Secret Service and other members of Trump's security detail fatally wounded the suspected shooter during the exchange of gunfire.

More information on the shooting will be available from news sources including from FOX News as well as the Ozarks First Website.
