Donald Trump was conducting his election rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13. Suddenly a bullet was fired and it passed by touching Trump's ear. Meanwhile, Trump also understood what had happened to him suddenly. He touched his ear and his hand was completely bloodied.
Investigators say there was an attempt to assassinate the former US president and potential Republican presidential candidate.
This shocking incident took place at a time when the US is going to have a presidential election later this year.
What happened:
During the rally, Trump was showing a chart of the number of people crossing the border, when a bullet was heard. Trump later said on social media that a bullet hit 'the upper part of my right ear.'
About the shooter:
Two officials told news agency AP that the shooter was not involved in the rally and was killed by US Secret Service agents. An AP source revealed that law enforcement recovered an AR-style rifle at the spot.
Biden's reaction:
In a televised address, the president said that 'we condemn the attack.' The White House also said that Biden also spoke to Trump over the phone.
A video of the deadly attack on Trump has surfaced, in which firing suddenly started during a rally. In the video, it can be clearly seen how Trump narrowly escaped this attack. The bullet passed through his right ear. If this bullet had gone even 2 centimeters inside, Trump could have died.
It is clearly heard in the video that Trump was giving his speech during the rally. Meanwhile, a person starts firing bullets continuously.
Meanwhile, Trump said - Oh and grabbed his ear. He immediately bent down, but the firing continued. After the attack, Trump said that 'he felt as if the bullet had passed through his ear.'
Immediately after the attack, his entire convoy arrives for his security and Trump was completely surrounded. Meanwhile, Trump stands on the stage again and raises his victory fist and shouts slogans towards the crowd. Meanwhile, half of his face turns red with blood
