The president of United States, Joe Bidenwas informed this Saturday of the shooting that occurred at a rally of his Republican rival, Donald Trump, in which the former president was apparently hit by a bullet in the ear, but is now out of danger.
“The President has received an initial briefing regarding the incident at former President Trump’s rally,” the White House said. Trump was holding a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, when he was removed from the podium following an apparent attack.
The Republican candidate had been on stage for only ten minutes and following small explosions, similar to gunshots, rang out, he was taken off the stage with blood on his ear and part of his face.
“Trump thanks security and first responders for their swift response to this despicable act. He is doing well and is being treated at a local medical facility,” Trump’s spokesman, Steve Cheung, said in a statement.
According to US media, two people were killed, including the alleged attacker. When the situation calmed down, Trump left the stage surrounded by his entire security team and with his fist raised, while a heavy police presence surrounded the area.
