Former President Donald Trump recounted a harrowing experience at a political rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where he says he felt a bullet rip through his ear. According to Trump, the attack began with a “whizzing sound” before he felt the bullet graze his skin.
The incident unfolded when a male attacker, reportedly armed with a rifle, opened fire at the event. The assailant was quickly neutralized by a member of the Secret Service, who shot and killed him. Despite the swift response, the attack resulted in the tragic death of one spectator, and two others are currently in critical condition, as confirmed by the Secret Service.
Eyewitnesses at the rally reported seeing a man with a rifle crawling on a nearby roof moments before the shots were fired. Video footage captured the chaotic scene, showing Trump, the leading Republican presidential contender, dropping to the ground. He then stood up, visibly shaken, with blood seen on the side of his face.
The Secret Service is conducting a thorough investigation into the incident. More details are expected to emerge as they continue to piece together the events leading up to the attempted assassination.
