Former US President and presidential candidate Donald Trump was attacked during a rally in Philadelphia on Saturday (13). Trump was nearly fatally hit in the head.
Trump spokesman Steven Cheung said the former president was “doing well” after being injured at the event. “President Trump thanks law enforcement and first responders for their quick response during this heinous act. He is doing well and is being evaluated at a local medical center. More details will be forthcoming,” Cheung said in a statement.
Anthony Guglielmi, the chief communications officer for the United States Secret Service, confirmed that the former president is safe. “An incident occurred on the evening of July 13th at a Trump rally in Pennsylvania. The Secret Service has implemented protective measures and the former president is safe. This is now an active Secret Service investigation and more information will be released when available,” Guglielmi said.
Reporters at the rally reported moments of panic as they heard “a series of loud explosions or bangs” before Secret Service agents rushed toward Trump. Amid the commotion, Trump was struck in the ear and was bleeding, but he shouted back to the crowd and raised his fist before being quickly led to a vehicle and taken away.
There are reports that the shooter was “neutralized” and that some people at the rally were injured by gunfire and taken to nearby hospitals. World authorities have spoken out in support of Trump.
This attempted attack on such a prominent figure in American politics has left the country and the world on alert, awaiting more details about Trump’s security and the ongoing investigation.
