Shooting at Trump rally is being investigated as assassination attempt

Former President Donald Trump was the target of an assassination attempt during a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday, law enforcement officials reported.

Trump, with his ear covered in blood from what he described as a gunshot wound, was swiftly escorted away by Secret Service agents. His campaign later confirmed he was “fine.”

A local prosecutor confirmed that the suspected gunman and at least one attendee were dead. The Secret Service reported two spectators critically injured.

About two and a half hours after the incident, Trump posted on his Truth Social media site that a bullet “pierced the upper part of my right ear,” describing the immediate realization and significant bleeding.

The suspected shooter, killed by the Secret Service, marks the first assassination attempt on a president or presidential candidate since Ronald Reagan in 1981.

This incident occurs just four months before the presidential elections and days before Trump is to be named the Republican nominee at the party’s convention.

Trump’s spokesman, Steven Cheung, thanked law enforcement and first responders, stating Trump is “fine” and being evaluated at a local medical facility, with more details to follow, the Associated Press has reported.
