(Butler County, Pa.) Donald Trump’s campaign says he’s “fine” after what law enforcement officials are treating as an assassination attempt during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Officials say the man who opened fire was a 20-year-old from Pennsylvania. In a social media post, Trump says he was “shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear.” The former president was quickly whisked from the stage, his ear covered in blood. Officials say the suspected gunman and at least one attendee are dead, while two spectators were critically injured. President Joe Biden and political leaders of all stripes are condemning the attack. Says Biden: “There’s no place in America for this type of violence. It’s sick.”
