Imagine someone tried to hurt the President, and everyone wants to know more about them.
This article talks about when someone tried to shoot the former US President Trump last year.
The person who did it was named Thomas Crooks.
Even though it's been a year, we still don't know much about Crooks.
Trump says the people investigating haven't found anything unusual about him.
Some people are wondering why we know more about other things than about this attempted shooting.
Trump also said the Secret Service made some mistakes during the event.
One year after an assassination attempt, details about the shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, remain unclear.
