Lincoln to Trump: Timeline of attacks against US presidents, candidates

Former United States President Donald Trump has been wounded in an assassination bid during a campaign rally in Butler County, Pennsylvania.
Trump, who was injured in the right ear, is “safe”. He was escorted off the stage with blood on his ear and cheek after the shooting at the rally.
One spectator was killed and two others critically injured in the attack, which took place at the Butler Farm Show in Butler City.
The Secret Service says its personnel killed the suspected attacker, identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, from Pennsylvania.

Since the founding of the US, four presidents and one presidential candidate have been assassinated.
These are some instances where US presidents and leading presidential candidates were targeted in assassination attempts.
