On a Saturday afternoon in Butler, Pennsylvania, a bullet meant to end a life instead grazed history — striking Donald Trump's ear during a campaign rally and killing one bystander while wounding two others. The shooter, a young man from the very region where he opened fire, was killed by law enforcement on a nearby rooftop. In the aftermath, Trump turned not toward anger but toward the older American instinct for unity, framing survival itself as a call to collective purpose.
