On July 13th, 2024, just a few days before the Republication National Convention, at a campaign rally near Butler, Penn., a gunman allegedly shot at Donald Trump, then candidate for president of the United States.

In the ensuing moments, a rally attendee and the alleged shooter were killed.

One year later, so many questions remain.
