Former President Donald Trump says he was shot and hit by a bullet in the upper part of his right ear.
Trump, who was speaking at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, said in a statement on his social media website that he knew something was wrong.
The Republican candidate was the target of this attempted assassination, said FBI officials hours after the shocking shooting incident at a Pennsylvania rally. Law enforcement officers said they had tentatively identified a suspected shooter but did not disclose details.
The former US president, who was shot in the ear, was “fine”, said the Trump campaign. The suspected gunman and a bystander were killed at the rally. World leaders have condemned the attack, which came just days before the Republican National Convention.
