Sky News Australia host James Morrow has reacted to the “extraordinary event” where former US president Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt at his Pennsylvania rally.

Mr Morrow commended former prime ministers Kevin Rudd and Scott Morrison for criticising the attack.

“Kevin Rudd called it what it was – an attack,” Mr Morrow said.

“Scott Morrison called it an assassination attempt.”

The FBI has officially confirmed the identity of the shooter who attempted to assassinate former US president Donald Trump as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks.

Mr Trump survived the attempt but a bullet pierced the upper part of his right ear.

The former president was evacuated from the site by Secret Service following the gunshots.

Donald Trump was rushed off stage during a Nevada rally after authorities suspected someone in the crowd had a gun. No gun was found on the man who was detained and Trump eventually returned to the stage.

“For some reason, this 20-year-old was able to go unimpeded up a ladder to a building and lay flat and carry out this attack.”

Secret Service agents at Trump’s rally should have been paying attention to the “elevated threat,” says former supervisory special agent in the US Secret Service Charles Marino.

Sky News host Paul Murray has labelled US President Joe Biden’s statement on the shooting at Donald Trump’s Pennsylvania rally as “weak”.

“It didn’t have any sense of gravitas to it, and it seemed to be something that automatically he went back into his muscle memory,” he told Sky News Australia.

“Which was to say all those stupid things that you say about Trump as a way of trying to scare people into bringing out the vote.”

Former President Donald Trump says he was shot in the ear after a gunman opened fire towards the stage at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday -- a harrowing incident that left one spectator dead and two others critically injured and sparked chaos at the event.

WARNING: Graphic Content. Gunfire appeared to erupt at former President Donald Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania while he was speaking on stage — and he was grazed in the ear, law enforcement said.

What sounded like gunshots rang out just about five minutes into his speech shortly after 6 p.m., sending Trump to the ground as Secret Service agents jumped in to cover him. Sources said the investigation is ongoing and they are looking into if the shots were from a BB gun.

Trump appeared to grab his ear in the moments before he was taken to the floor by the Secret Service. He was heard asking for his shoes as the guards rushed him away.

A streak of blood could be seen on the right side of his face.

Soldiers in military gear were seen rushing into the rally.

Sky News host Chris Kenny has blasted US President Joe Biden’s “disgusting statement” regarding the shooting at former US president Donald Trump’s rally.

“At such a time of chaos and concern for American democracy, he said nothing to call off the dogs … off Donald Trump," Mr Kenny said.

“Nothing to say that we’ve got to stop being this divisive and not demonise this man.

“He should have been absolutely telling people that this is a fair political contest between two political parties.”

The 20-year-old male who shot at former US president Donald Trump during a Pennsylvania rally is alleged to be Thomas Matthew Crooks, according to The New York Post.

However, US authorities have not confirmed the shooter’s identity but claim they are close to determining who the person was.

An image has now surfaced showing US authorities standing over what is believed to be the corpse of the shooter.

ABC News Executive Editorial Producer John Santucci discusses the latest movements of the former president.

Seattle University Associate Teaching Professor Dr Patrick Schoettmer says in a vacuum of information, often misinformation will quickly “move in to fill in the void”.

This comes after Mr Trump was pierced by a bullet at his rally in Pennsylvania.

“Many on the far left were accusing this of being a false flag operation or a staged operation,” Dr Schoettmer told Sky News Australia.

“While those on the far right were trying to blame Joseph Biden for this attack itself.”

New details have revealed the gunman who shot at former US president Donald Trump was a 20-year-old person from Pennsylvania.

Authorities have revealed they are close to identifying the shooter.

However, investigators have said they do not currently know the shooter’s motive.

Trump Shooting News LIVE: FBI Identifies Trump Rally Shooter as 20-Year-Old Thomas Matthew Crooks

US Presidential candidate Donald Trump was shot in the ear during a campaign rally on Saturday after a major security lapse. The FBI has identified 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, as the "subject involved" in what it termed an attempted assassination in a statement early on Sunday. He was a registered Republican, according to state voter records.
Earlier the Secret Service said in a statement that the shooter was dead, one attendee at the rally was killed and two other spectators were injured.

US President Joe Biden called for an end to political violence after Republican rival Donald Trump was shot in the right ear during a rally on Saturday, and Biden's campaign suspended all political communication, including ads attacking Trump.

Secret Service agents rushed to protect Donald Trump Saturday as a protester at his Vandalia, OH rally tried to climb on stage. Trump said he was "ready" to take him on but preferred to have security handle the disruption. Watch the video.

Sky News host Liz Storer says “Trump derangement syndrome” has picked up again after the former president’s “great week” surrounding the debate.

“Donald Trump’s great week has resulted in some serious Trump derangement syndrome, we are talking about on steroids,” Ms Storer said.

“This has now reached such a hysterical level people are taking to social media to call for Trump’s assassination.”

Commentator Alex Stein has blasted US media and in particular CNN over its initial reporting following an assassination attempt on former US president Donald Trump during a rally in Pennsylvania.

“When you saw CNN report on this they reported on it as Trump falling down after hearing loud noises,” Mr Stein said.

“The media here in America is the biggest fraud of any corporation of anybody that exists because they will literally look us in the face and lie and try to misconstrue what actually happened.

“It’s very sad I just can’t believe that the media would say that Trump fell down.”

Megyn Kelly ends the breaking news show after the attempted assassination of former President Trump discussing how he could have chosen a safer route rather than running for president again but did so for love of country, why she is now going to enthusiastically support Trump in 2024, and more.
