Trump injured in shooting at Pennsylvania rally that left at least 1 dead

Former President Donald Trump was injured in a shooting Saturday evening during his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. A gunman and at least one audience member are dead, the Secret Service said, and two other attendees are critically injured.

Trump said on social media that he was shot and hit by a bullet in the “upper part of my right ear.” The Secret Service said the former president is safe after he was rushed off the rally stage with blood on his face. A spokesperson said Trump is “fine” after the “heinous act.”

The Secret Service said the shooter fired multiple shots from an “elevated position” outside of the Trump rally before he was killed by agents. Law enforcement sources told CNN the shooter was on a building rooftop just outside the rally venue. The shooting is being investigated as an attempted assassination, according to law enforcement officials.

President Joe Biden denounced the violence in remarks Saturday night and said in a statement earlier that he’s “grateful” Trump is safe.
