Donald Trump has been injured after gunshots were heard during his campaign speech in Butler, Pennsylvania on Saturday. The former US president was quickly rushed off stage by his security team. He had blood stains on his right ear. Former US President and Republican frontrunner Donald Trump narrowly survived an assassination attempt during his 2024 election campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on Saturday. Several shots were fired while Trump was delivering a speech in front of a crowd of supporters. A bullet grazed Trump’s right ear, after which the real estate tycoon-turned-politician was escorted off the stage by the Secret Service.
The Trump campaign later released a statement saying that the former president “is fine.” The Secret Service later said that a suspected shooter and a member of the audience were killed. Two spectators were critically injured.
President Joe Biden and many leading politicians have condemned the attempt on Trump’s life. Some of Trump’s supporters argued that the toxic and violent rhetoric directed at Trump may have played a part in the incident.
