Gunshots fired at Donald Trump rally, attacker dead

Published by

Former USA president and Republican presidential candidate for the upcoming November elections, Donald Trump managed to escape unscathed in a gunshot attack during his election rally in Butler, Pennsylvania a few hours ago. As he was whisked off from the stage by his security personnel, Trump was seen bleeding from his ear and covered with blood on his face.

 As per reports, the Secret Service Agents neutralized the attacker and he was declared dead a short while ago. One spectator who was at the meeting also died in this violent attack. The shocking incident happened when Trump was referring to a chart of border crossing numbers to the crowd which he was addressing as part of his election campaign.  As gunshots were heard, he grimaced and clutched a hand to his right ear, where blood was clearly visible across his cheek and mouth. 

Trump quickly recovered and raised his fist to the public as he was escorted down the stage. He later thanked law enforcement and first responders for their quick reaction and confirmed that he is absolutely fine. He was rushed to a local medical facility for treatment and the crowd was immediately cleared to avoid any further damage.  

President Joe Biden condemned the attack on Trump. He said “I’m grateful to hear that he’s safe and doing well. I’m praying for him and his family and for all those who were at the rally, as we await further information,” Biden said in a statement shortly after the incident.
