According to a New York Post report, former President and 2024 GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump was shot during a rally in Pennsylvania; the bullet grazed the side of his head.
From The New York Post:
Several gunshots rang out just about five minutes into his speech shortly after 6 p.m., sending Trump to the ground as Secret Service agents jumped in to cover him
Trump appeared to grab his ear in the moments before he was taken to the floor by the Secret Service. He was heard asking for his shoes as the guards rushed him away.
Soldiers in military gear were seen rushing into the rally.
Nine shots could be heard in video of the incident, including three before Trump ducked.
Law enforcement sources said that he appeared to be grazed by a ricochet.
Members of the crowd could be heard screaming in panic as several pops could be heard.
Thousands had attended the campaign rally in Butler, where Trump was rumored to make an announcement about his Vice Presidential pick ahead of the Republican National Convention next week.
