Former President Donald Trump says he was shot in the ear during an assassination attempt at a Pennsylvania rally Saturday evening.
The bloodied former president was whisked away by Secret Service after shots were heard in the crowd of his Butler, Pa. political event. The shooter and a rally attendee are both dead as a result of the incident, the Associated Press reports.
Trump posted on Truth Social Saturday evening to thank law enforcement, offer his condolences to the family of the deceased eventgoer and to confirm he was hit by a bullet.
"I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear. I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound," Trump wrote.
