Watch: Shocking Moment Donald Trump Attacked at Pennsylvania Rally

Watch: Shocking Moment Donald Trump Attacked at Pennsylvania Rally

At a rally in Pennsylvania today, Donald Trump was shot at many times during which he barely avoided being the target of an attempted assassination. Security guards pulled the former US President from the platform, and he is reportedly OK. Trump is seen speaking to a sizable gathering of his fans in a video that shows the exact moment the horrific event occurred. During his speech, multiple gunshots can be heard. Donald Trump is seen cupping his right ear as the initial round of gunfire caught him off guard, then he quickly ducked behind the stage curtains to take cover. Behind him, the throng ducks to avoid any bullets as they can be seen to be afraid and confused.

Trump is quickly covered and removed from the stage by Secret Service agents who have come to his aid. As he is being taken away, Trump, who has blood visible in his right ear, pumps his fist into the air. Trump’s campaign declared following the incident that the president is “fine” and is being examined at a hospital. “President Trump expresses gratitude to first responders and law enforcement for acting quickly during this horrific incident. He’s at a nearby medical facility getting looked out, but he seems fine. We’ll provide more information later,” spokesman Steven Cheung stated.

Two persons, including the alleged shooter, have died, according to US media reports. “Butler County District Attorney Richard Goldinger said two people are dead, including an apparent shooter,” according to The Washington Post. The assault on his political opponent has been denounced by US President Joe Biden. “I’m happy to learn that he’s doing well and is secure. As we wait for more details, I’m praying for him, his family, and everyone who attended the event,” Biden wrote on X. “Jill and I are appreciative of the Secret Service’s assistance in bringing him to safety. This kind of violence has no place in America. To denounce it, we must come together as a nation,” he continued.
