Pennsylvania: Former US President Donald Trump claimed that a bullet struck the “upper part of my right ear” during his shooting. “I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin,” Trump claimed in a statement posted on Truth Social.
Trump’s full statement:
“I would want to express my gratitude to the US Secret Service and the whole law enforcement community for their prompt action in responding to the recent shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania. Above all, I would want to offer my sympathies to the family of the rally participant who was slain as well as the family of the guy who was seriously injured. That such an act can occur in our nation is astounding. Regarding the gunman, who is now deceased, nothing is known at this moment. One of the bullets that was discharged into me went through the top portion of my right ear. As soon as I heard bullets, felt the bullet ripping through my skin, and heard a whizzing sound, I knew something was wrong. I became aware of what was going on when there was a lot of blood. GOD BLESS AMERICA!
