Former President Donald Trump has responded for the first time regarding the assassination attempt on him while he was speaking at an election rally.
He mentioned that a bullet grazed the top of his right ear, and that Secret Service agents protected him. He said that when he heard the gunshot sounds and shots being fired, he felt something was wrong, and soon after, another bullet seemed to hit him.
Trump addressed this on his ‘Truth Social Site.’ Trump’s Communications Director, Steven Cheung, released a statement saying the former president is safe and currently receiving treatment in a hospital.
The incident occurred on Saturday during an election rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where Trump was speaking. Thousands of Trump supporters attended the rally, and the event was being broadcast live on news channels when the shooting happened.
One bullet grazed Trump’s ear, causing blood to spill onto his face. He immediately bent down, and Secret Service agents quickly formed a protective shield around him. He was then promptly taken to the hospital.
