Several gun shots were fired at a Donald Trump rally today in Butler County, Pennsylvania. Trump’s ear was grazed by a bullet. Two people are reportedly dead – the suspected shooter and another spectator who attended the rally. Two others have reportedly been critically injured.
Video from the event shows that after shots were fired, the former president touched his ear and looked at his hand. He then ducked to the ground. Secret Service moved in and shielded Trump. With blood on his face and ear, he was escorted off the stage and into a vehicle. Trump raised his fist as he was escorted away.
In a statement from Trump Campaign spokesman Steven Cheung, he said, “President Trump thanks law enforcement and first responders for their quick action during this heinous act. He is fine and is being checked out at a local medical facility. More details will follow.”
Members of Missouri’s Congressional delegation is reacting to the deadly shooting.
