Shots were fired at a Donald Trump rally, and the attacker is dead.
Former USA president and Republican presidential candidate for the upcoming November elections, Donald Trump, managed to escape unharmed during a gunshot attack at his election rally in Butler, Pennsylvania a few hours ago. As his security personnel quickly escorted him off the stage, Trump was seen bleeding from his ear and had blood on his face.
According to reports, Secret Service agents neutralized the attacker, who was declared dead shortly after. One spectator at the rally also died in the attack. The incident occurred while Trump was showing a chart of border crossing numbers to the crowd. As gunshots were heard, he grimaced and held his right ear, where blood was visible on his cheek and mouth.
Trump quickly recovered and raised his fist to the crowd as he was escorted off the stage. He later thanked law enforcement and first responders for their quick reaction and confirmed that he was fine. He was taken to a local medical facility for treatment, and the crowd was immediately cleared to prevent further harm.
President Joe Biden condemned the attack on Trump, saying, “I’m grateful to hear that he’s safe and doing well. I’m entreat for him and his family and for all those who were at the rally, as we await further information.”
