On the evening of July 13, American media reported on a shooting in which former President and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump was injured while giving a speech at a rally in Pennsylvania.
In videos and photographs shared on social media, the moment when shots are heard can be seen and Trump touches his right ear, from which blood began to flow.
Secret Service officers climbed onto the platform to protect the politician and then remove him from the scene.
The Butler County (Pennsylvania) district attorney confirmed to the media CBS News that two people died in the shooting, including the shooter.
Both the head of communications for the US Secret Service, Anthony Guglielmi, and Trump campaign spokesman Steve Cheung confirmed that the Republican candidate is doing well and is receiving medical assistance.
The incident sparked several reactions from US politicians, including US President Joe Biden and former President Barack Obama, who condemned this type of violence.
Other political leaders who expressed their rejection of what happened were the president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro; the president of the Vox party (Spanish right), Santiago Abascal; the senator of Florida, Marco Rubio; the president of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador; the president of Argentina, Javier Milei; and the president of Guatemala, Bernardo Arévalo.
