While he was speaking at a rally on Saturday, an assassination attempt was made on Trump.

The former president, his ear covered in blood from a gunshot wound, was quickly pulled away by Secret Service agents.

A local prosecutor said the suspected shooter and at least one bystander were dead. The Secret Service said two bystanders were seriously injured.

About two and a half hours after the shooting, Trump posted on his social media page “Truth” that a bullet had “pierced the top of my right ear.”

He said: “I knew immediately that something was wrong because I heard a hissing sound, gunshots and immediately felt the bullet go through the skin.”

“There was a lot of bleeding, so I realized what was happening.”

It was the first time a president or presidential candidate had been shot since Ronald Reagan in 1981.

This move comes against the backdrop of a deeply polarized political atmosphere, just four months before the presidential election and a few days before Trump is set to be officially named the Republican candidate at his party’s convention.

In a statement, Trump spokesman Steven Cheung said: “President Trump thanks law enforcement and first responders for their quick response during this heinous act.”

“He is doing well and is being evaluated at a local medical facility.”

The Secret Service said the suspected gunman fired “from an elevated position outside the rally site.”

Trump is “safe and under investigation,” the agency said.

President Joe Biden said: “There is no place for this kind of violence in America. It is sick. It is sick.”

Donald Trump Jr. said he had spoken to his father on the phone and “he was in a great mood.”

“He will never stop fighting to save America, no matter what the radical left throws at him,” Trump Jr. said.
