Former US President Donald Trump has reacted to a failed assassination attempt on his life, revealing that a bullet grazed the upper part of his right ear during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday evening.
Trump shared details of the harrowing experience in a social media post after the incident, thanking the United States Secret Service and other law enforcement agents for their swift response.
“I want to thank The United States Secret Service, and all of Law Enforcement, for their rapid response on the shooting that just took place in Butler, Pennsylvania,” Trump wrote.
He also expressed his condolences to the victims of the attack. “Most importantly, I want to extend my condolences to the family of the person at the rally who was killed, and also to the family of another person that was badly injured,” he stated
Describing the moment he was shot, Trump recounted, “It is incredible that such an act can take place in our country. Nothing is known at this time about the shooter, who is now dead. I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear. I knew immediately that something was wrong when I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin. Much bleeding took place, so I realized then what was happening.”
