“President Trump thanks law enforcement and first responders for their quick action during this heinous act. He is fine and is being checked out at a local medical facility. More details will follow,” Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said in a statement.
It has been widely reported that two people are dead, one of whom is the suspected shooter. Video circulating on X shows police carrying a body out of the rally.

There “are other 2 other victims being transported to area hospitals,” an Atlantic reporter tweeted. President Biden has yet to make an official statement on the assassination attempt and was at a Saturday night vigil Mass when it happened, according to the Washington Post.
Trump’s injury does not appear to be life-threatening. Secret Service hurried away the former president, who had blood on his face, as he raised his fist in the air.
Trump yelling “Fight. Fight,” after getting grazed by a bullet in the ear, an inch from ending his life.
No panic. No crawling on his knees to safety. The man stands up, faces the crowd, and yells “Fight.”
Historic footage. Just incredible.

The liberal media immediately began downplaying the attempted killing.
Someone tries to assassinate the presumptive GOP candidate for president. And behold, your media:
WaPo: “loud noises”
CNN: “Trump falls”
NBC: “popping noises” pic.twitter.com/xeYRAlWFrM— Rachel Bovard (@rachelbovard) July 13, 2024
