Donald Trump survives assassination attempt
Suspected shooter is killed by Secret Service, and Donald Trump says he felt bullet rip through his ear; the Pennsylvania rally shooting was as assassination attempt.
Former President Donald Trump said on social media he was “shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear” when gunfire erupted at a campaign rally in Butler, Pa., Saturday. The Secret Service shot and killed a suspected gunman.
Federal authorities say the shooting was an assassination attempt. A WSJ reporter was at the rally as the shooting unfolded.
One spectator was killed and two others were critically injured after “multiple shots” were fired, the Secret Service said on social media.
The FBI is working to identify the gunman and determine not only the motive but how this could happen during what should have been a highly secure rally.
The gunman used a rifle and fired from an elevated position outside of the rally, the Secret Service added.
President Biden spoke to the former president and is returning to Washington from Rehoboth Beach, Del.
Earlier, Biden declared there is âno place in America for this sort of violence. Itâs sick.â
Messages of concern and support for Trump poured in immediately from top Democrats and top Republicans as well as former presidentsâall decrying political violence.
Some Republicans blamed the shooting on Biden’s rhetoric; but Trump said motive is not clear.
