Former President Donald Trump was the target of an assassination attempt during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, according to his son Eric Trump. The younger Trump provided an update on his father’s condition, revealing that while the former president did not require stitches, he sustained a “nice flesh wound” in the upper part of his right ear.
Eric Trump emphasized the severity of the situation, stating that Donald Trump narrowly escaped a fatal outcome. The former president was quickly shielded by Secret Service agents and removed from the rally stage with blood on his face. Despite the ordeal, Eric Trump reassured that his father’s hearing remains unaffected and that he is maintaining high spirits.
The shooting incident occurred during Donald Trump’s speech, where a young gunman opened fire, tragically resulting in a casualty and injuries to Trump and two others. Rep. Ronny Jackson, the former White House physician for Donald Trump, explained that a portion of the former president’s ear was affected, leading to significant bleeding due to the nature of the area.
Eric Trump expressed frustration over the delayed identification of the shooter and emphasized the need for improved security protocols to prevent similar incidents in the future. He stressed the importance of holding those responsible for security lapses accountable and commended the Secret Service’s swift response during the rally.
