Trump issued a statement on Truth Social, saying, “I thank the U.S. Secret Service, all law enforcement agencies for their swift response to the shooting incident in Butler, Pennsylvania. Most importantly, I want to express my condolences to the families of the deceased and the family of another critically injured individual at the rally. It is truly unbelievable for such a thing to happen in our country.”
“As of now, we have no information about the shooter, who is deceased. I was hit by a bullet that passed through the upper right part of my ear. I knew immediately something was wrong because I heard the whooshing and gunshots, and immediately felt the bullet tearing through the skin, shedding a lot of blood, so I immediately realized what had happened. God bless America!”
