Trump faces unprecedented third assassination attempt
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
President Donald Trump infamously acknowledges he is choosing the world’s most «dangerous profession,» but surviving a third unprecedented assassination attempt — including one where he was shot in the ear — is only hardening his resolve.
«I’ve studied assassinations, and I must tell you, the most impactful people, the people that do the most» are the targets, Trump said in a Saturday night White House press briefing after an alleged would-be assassin was stopped by the U.S. Secret Service at the Washington Hilton, the notorious site of former President Ronald Reagan’s shooting in 1981.
«You take a look at the people, Abraham Lincoln, I mean, you go through the people that have gone through this where they got them, but the people that do the most, the people that make the biggest impact, they’re the ones that they go after.
«They don’t go after the ones that don’t do much because they like it that way.»

In Trump’s case, three thwarted assassinations are part of his presidential lore, facing a string of shootings, plots and major security breaches unlike anything in history.
Trump cautiously admitted, «I hate to say I’m honored by that,» but noted that «the big names» and the big movers are the targets.
Saturday night’s chaos at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner in Washington added a new entry to a list already defined by gunfire in Butler, Pa. (July 13, 2024), an armed suspect at his Florida golf club (Sept. 15, 2024) and the Secret Service’s discovery of a sniper’s nest in eyeshot of where Air Force One lands at Palm Beach International in Florida.

Trump hailed the unity at the WHCA dinner in a room of some of his fiercest critics in the media, urging Americans to unify in divided political times.

«In light of this evening’s events, I asked that all Americans recommit with their hearts and resolving our differences peacefully,» Trump said. «We have to resolve our differences.»
«I will say you had Republicans, Democrats, Independents, conservatives, liberals and progressives — those words are interchangeable, perhaps, but maybe they’re not — but yet everybody in that room, big crowd, record-setting crowd. There was a record-setting group of people, and there was a tremendous amount of love and coming together,» Trump continued.

Trump and first lady Melania Trump were rushed from the Washington Hilton after shots were fired outside the ballroom, where the president had been scheduled to speak.
Authorities said one officer was shot but protected by a ballistic vest, and the suspect, Cole Tomas Allen of California, was taken into custody before breaching the room.

The three men at the center of the most serious known threats are now Thomas Matthew Crooks (Butler suspect, deceased), Ryan Wesley Routh (Palm Beach suspect, sentenced to life) and now Allen (arrested and charged Saturday night).
Crooks, 20, opened fire at the July 13, 2024, campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. The FBI identified Crooks as the shooter after he hit Trump in the right ear and killed rallygoer Corey Comperatore before being shot dead by a Secret Service countersniper.
Routh, 59, received a life sentence for his attempt at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach in September 2024. Prosecutors said Secret Service agents spotted him with a rifle near the course while Trump was playing, prompting an agent to open fire before Routh could get a shot off.
TRUMP ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT AFTERMATH, REACTIONS FROM INNER CIRCLE REVEALED IN NEW BOOK
Allen, identified in Saturday night’s Washington incident, is the newest name on that list. Authorities have announced firearms and assault-related charges.
Law enforcement at a Saturday night news conference said Allen was armed with multiple weapons and allegedly fired during a rush at a security perimeter near the dinner, striking a Secret Service agent in his bulletproof vest before being «tackled» to the ground without taking a bullet from the Secret Service.
«One officer was shot, but saved by the fact that he was wearing an obviously a very good bulletproof vest,» Trump told reporters, many still in their tuxedos, having left the canceled WHCA dinner, too. «He was shot from very close distance with a very powerful gun, and the vest did the job. I just spoke to the officer and he’s doing great. He’s great shape. He’s very high spirits, and we told him we love him and respect him.»
RYAN ROUTH TRIAL CONTINUES AFTER AGENT TESTIFIES SUSPECT AIMED RIFLE AT HIM ON TRUMP’S GOLF COURSE
Taken together, the three cases underscore how Trump’s security profile has changed from unusually fraught to historically extraordinary. One attempt drew blood on a campaign stage, another ended in a life sentence after a rifle ambush at a golf course, and the latest forced a presidential evacuation from one of Washington’s highest-profile public events.

Trump signaled Saturday night that he does not plan to retreat from public appearances despite the repeated threats.
«The response time was really incredible, and we’re going to reschedule,» Trump said. «We’re going to do it again.»
«We’re not going to let anybody take over our society,» he added. «We’re not going to cancel things out because we can’t do that. We wanted to stay tonight.»

Other thwarted plots and security scares
Beyond the three highest-profile cases, Trump has faced a broader pattern of violent threats and close calls dating back to his first campaign.
TRUMP RESPONDS TO CRITICS WITH COUNTERPUNCHES ACROSS POLITICS AND ONGOING CULTURE WARS
In June 2016, Michael Steven Sandford, a British national, allegedly tried to grab a police officer’s gun at a Trump rally in Las Vegas and later told investigators he intended to kill Trump, according to court records and contemporaneous reporting.
In March 2016, Thomas Dimassimo rushed onto the stage at a Dayton, Ohio, rally before Secret Service agents tackled him.
And in November 2016, Trump was briefly rushed offstage in Reno, Nevada, after someone in the crowd shouted «gun,» though authorities later said the man detained was unarmed.

Public reporting has also documented later threats not carried out at Trump’s immediate location, including a 2020 ricin letter case; a 2024 murder-for-hire plot tied to Iran; a 2017 North Dakota incident in which a man stole a forklift and aimed it toward the presidential motorcade; and a February 2026 confrontation at Mar-a-Lago in which Secret Service fatally shot a 21-year-old who was armed with a shotgun and gas canister while Trump was in Washington.

A Wisconsin brewery and taproom known for promising «free beer» when President Donald Trump dies is drawing renewed scrutiny for posting on Facebook «we almost got #freebeerday.»
The Minocqua Brewing Company is owned by Wisconsin Democrat Kirk Bangstad, a former state Assembly candidate who has repeatedly used the brewery’s brand to attack Trump and Republicans. The brewery’s social media lamented Saturday night’s foiled attack at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
«Well, we almost got #freebeerday,» the company’s post read, although Fox News could not immediately identify the poster’s tie to the owner. «Either a brother or sister in the Resistance needs to work on their marksmanship or he faked another assassination to get a positive news cycle. We’ll never know.»

«Regardless, we stand at the ready to pour free beer the day it happens,» the post concluded.
Bangstad was the Democrat nominee for Wisconsin’s 34th Assembly District in 2020, according to Ballotpedia, but lost the general election.
Minocqua Brewing sells politically themed merchandise, including shirts saying, «I wish it was free beer day,» and pitches its progressive brand that pairs beer with activism and «snarky progressive merch.»

Fox News Digital previously reported on the brewery’s «free beer day» vow. In January, Fox News highlighted a Minocqua Brewing message offering «free beer, all day long, the day he dies,» and noted Bangstad’s comment that he would welcome people to celebrate Trump’s «impending death» with one caveat: «no red hats allowed.»
Fox News also identified Bangstad as the founder of the Minocqua Brewing Company super PAC, which targets Trump and Republicans. Also, Bangstad once sued to keep Trump off the Wisconsin ballots before the 2024 presidential election.
The fresh backlash followed Saturday night’s security scare at the WHCA dinner in Washington, where Trump and first lady Melania Trump were evacuated after shots were fired outside the ballroom.
Fox News reached out Sunday to Bangstad, the brewery and the Wisconsin Democratic Party. In a January statement to Fox News, Bangstad welcomed the celebration of the «impending death» of Trump.
PENTAGON CALLS CHARLIE KIRK POSTS ‘DOMESTIC TERRORISM’; DEM WARNS DISCIPLINE IS ‘UN-AMERICAN’
Bangstad and Minocqua Brewing have drawn repeated scrutiny beyond their anti-Trump messaging. Wisconsin Public Radio reported Bangstad was charged last year in a harassment case tied to a dispute with a local newspaper publisher, and Wisconsin newspaper reporting said he later entered a no-contest plea in a disorderly conduct case and was found guilty earlier this month.
JB PRITZKER CONDEMNS POLITICAL VIOLENCE AFTER CHARLIE KIRK’S DEATH, SAYS TRUMP’S RHETORIC ‘OFTEN FOMENTS IT’
Trump-backed House candidate Michael Alfonso called out the normalization of Bangstad’s rhetoric in the state.
«This brewery is owned by a man named Kirk Bangstad, and he’s not just some random crazy guy,» Alfonso posted on X. «Kirk is friends with current Democratic gubernatorial frontrunner Francesca Hong. He previously employed Rebecca Cooke, the Democrat currently running against Derrick Van Orden, and was himself the Democratic nominee against my father-in-law, Sean Duffy, in Wisconsin’s 7th Congressional District—where I am now running for office.»

TRUMP RALLY GUNMAN ACTED ALONE, FBI SAYS — BUT QUESTIONS ABOUT MOTIVE PERSIST
Wisconsin Republicans and the Republican National Committee are calling out the ties to Bangstad.
«Wisconsin Democrats are so sick in the head that an attempted murder is funny to them,» RNC spokeswoman Delanie Bomar told Fox News Digital on Sunday morning.
«All Wisconsin Democrats, including Rebecca Cooke, must immediately condemn this disgusting behavior.»

¿Quién es el ‘Sirra’?: El criminal responsable de cometer más de 100 homicidios en El Salvador que hoy resguarda el CECOT
En el frío concreto del Centro de Confinamiento de la Corrupción y el Terrorismo (CECOT), el tiempo parece haberse detenido para Dionisio Arístides Umanzor Osorio, conocido en el mundo del hampa como “Sirra de Teclas”. Sin embargo, esta semana, el reloj de la justicia ha vuelto a marcar las horas para él.
A través de una pantalla, en una audiencia masiva que agrupa a la cúpula histórica de la Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13), el hombre que una vez decidió quién vivía y quién moría en las calles de Santa Tecla, ahora escucha el recuento de una vida dedicada al delito.
Hablar de “Sirra” es hablar de la Ranfla Nacional, la mesa directiva de la muerte. Umanzor no es un pandillero común de los que patrullaban pasajes con armas hechizas; él es considerado como un estratega, un “intelectual” del crimen que transformó a una pandilla de barrio en una organización con pretensiones transnacionales, de acuerdo a las autoridades.
Con el cuerpo tatuado con los códigos de su estructura y una mirada gélida que ha desafiado a fiscales y jueces por décadas, representa la vieja guardia de la MS-13. Registra 126 delitos, una cifra que parece inverosímil para un solo individuo.
De estos, 106 son homicidios agravados. La matemática de su crueldad arroja una sombra insoportable, según investigaciones de la Fiscalía General de la República (FGR), es responsable, directa o indirectamente, de haber segado la vida de más de un centenar de personas. A esto se suman cargos por:
- Atentados contra la libertad individual
- Agrupaciones ilícitas
- Daños
- Privación de libertad
- Rebelión
- Secuestro.
Un reportaje realizado hace 14 años profundiza en la tregua entre pandillas en El Salvador a través de la voz de uno de sus protagonistas, Aristides Umanzor de la MS13.
Para entender la peligrosidad de Umanzor, hay que retroceder al año 1999, mucho antes de que el régimen de excepción fuera siquiera una idea. Uno de los casos que más conmovió a la sociedad salvadoreña y que puso su nombre en la lista de los más buscados fue el secuestro y asesinato de un joven estudiante de ingeniería.
La víctima, de apenas 23 años, fue interceptado por la banda que lideraba “Sirra”. A pesar de que la familia, en un acto de desesperación, pagó un rescate de 270,000 colones ($30.93), la orden de Umanzor fue implacable.
El cuerpo del joven fue hallado semanas después en la zona de la Finca El Espino, en Santa Tecla. Este crimen reveló la verdadera naturaleza de “Sirra”: un criminal que no respetaba ni sus propios acuerdos de palabra y que utilizaba el asesinato como una firma de poder.
Dionisio Arístides Umanzor ha pasado gran parte de su vida adulta tras las rejas. Fue capturado a principios de los años 2000 y recluido en el Penal de Máxima Seguridad de Zacatecoluca, conocido como “Zacatraz”.
Sin embargo, desde su celda, se las arregló para seguir dirigiendo operaciones. Informes de inteligencia indican que fue uno de los arquitectos de las treguas y los repuntes de violencia que desangraron al país en años anteriores.
Pero el escenario ha cambiado. Esta penúltima semana de abril de 2026, la audiencia en el CECOT marca un hito. “Sirra” ya no es el líder que negocia beneficios desde la cárcel; es un reo más en un uniforme blanco que enfrenta un proceso histórico.
El Ministerio Público, también lo señala como autor intelectual de la escalada de violencia masiva. Se le acusa de dar las órdenes que resultaron en miles de muertes en todo el territorio nacional, buscando penas que, sumadas, superarían fácilmente los mil años de prisión.
Imágenes que muestran el traslado y reclusión de Dionisio Arístides Umanzor, alias ‘El Sirra’, uno de los líderes de la pandilla MS13, dentro de un centro penitenciario de máxima seguridad en El Salvador.
Mientras se desarrolla esta audiencia, sobre la cabeza de Umanzor pesa también una solicitud de extradición hacia los Estados Unidos. El Departamento de Justicia de aquel país lo reclama por cargos de terrorismo, señalando que las actividades de la MS-13, bajo su liderazgo, afectaron directamente la seguridad nacional estadounidense. Para el “Sirra”, el CECOT podría no ser su última parada, sino la antesala de una prisión federal en el norte.
Hoy, mientras los jueces revisan los 126 delitos de su expediente, el nombre de Dionisio Arístides Umanzor Osorio queda registrado no solo como un criminal, sino como el símbolo de una era de terror que El Salvador intenta dejar atrás. La crónica de su vida es, en última instancia, el recuento de una nación que busca justicia ante la mirada impasible de quien alguna vez se creyó intocable.
