In a shocking incident ex- President of America, Donald Trump was shot at apparently in an assassination bid during a rally at Butler, Pennsylvania on Sunday. The event took place when Trump was speaking to a audience in the battleground state before the November election.

He may have cringed and bent down when gunshots rang out while Trump was speaking. Secret Service agents who were guarding Trump immediately moved towards the stage and escorted Trump out to a car. Trump said this later in a post on his Truth Social network, where he disclosed that a bullet had passed close to his right ear, and he had bled a lot.

The suspect who was mentioned as a male brandishing a rifle was gunned down by Secret Service officers. In the shooting, one person was killed and two others were injured in critical condition. The FBI is in charge of the case and they approach it as an attempted assassination.

Some of the eyewitnesses said that they heard several discharges, supposedly from a one-story construction nearby. Several witnesses reported observing a creepy individual on the rooftop of the building just before the shooting erupted.

The attack elicited a wave of condemnation from various political factions and leaders. President of the United States Joe Biden said it was “sick” and there is “no place in America for this kind of violence. ” Former President of the United States Barack Obama tweeted, “I’m relieved to see that Trump escaped without serious injury, but the images coming out of Washington are deeply disturbing. ” World leaders also spoke out in shock and concern.

This has brought tension in the election cycle that is already considered sensitive. Others Republicans went on to blame Biden for inciting the concerns regarding Trump’s possible continuation of office, especially the Senator JD Vance who stated that Biden’s words led to the attack.
