Trump: Bullet pierced upper part of my right ear

New York, July 14 (UNI) Former US President Donald Trump said on social media that while he was addressing a rally in Pennsylvani, he heard a whizzing sound, shots, moments later felt a bullet piercing upper part of his right ear on Saturday.

In a related incident the US Secret Service statement said, "One spectator was killed, two spectators were critically injured. The incident is currently under investigation and the Secret Service has formally notified the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
According to reports, at least one audience member is dead, while two other attendees at the event are critically injured. The FBI confirmed that the incident is being investigated as an assassination attempt.
'A suspected shooter fired multiple shots at former President Trump's campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13 from an elevated position outside the venue," the U.S. Secret Service said in a press statement.
"U.S. Secret Service personnel neutralised the shooter who is now deceased. U.S. Secret Service quickly responded with protective measures and the former president is safe and being evaluated," the statement said.
Donald Trump on his social media platform Truth Social said, 'I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear. I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin. Much bleeding took place, so I realised then what was happening,' Trump said.
It is incredible that such an act can take place in our Country. Nothing is known at this time about the shooter, who is now dead, he added.
Law enforcement sources told CNN the shooter was on a building rooftop just outside the rally venue.
Trump’s campaign has released a statement saying that he is “fine” after the “heinous act”, and thanked law enforcement and first responders for their quick action.
