On Saturday evening, during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, Donald Trump’s right ear was pierced by a bullet from would-be assassin, Thomas Crooks.
Trump’s response was to defiantly pump his fist to the crowd, saying, “Fight, fight, fight!” as he was escorted to a nearby hospital by Secret Service.
One rally attendee was reported killed and another severely wounded in the attack. The gunman was taken out by a Secret Service sniper.
This is an image purported to be that of the alleged shooter, killed by Secret Service.
Trump posted on TRUTHSocial at 8:42PM:
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. 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. 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 in that 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. GOD BLESS AMERICA!
