## Resource

A shooter who attempted to assassinate Donald Trump at a rally last Saturday was identified by the FBI as Thomas Crooks — and disturbing warning signs had been present before the attack. Authorities say he exhibited classic “red flag” behaviors, suggesting this wasn’t a random act but part of a concerning pattern. The incident reignites urgent questions about how well our systems detect and respond to potential violence, especially when it comes to mental health and public safety. Investigations are ongoing to uncover exactly what those red flags were and whether they were noticed — and if not, how we can prevent such tragedies from happening again.
