President Biden was seen leaving Mass at St. Edmond’s Catholic Church in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, just minutes after an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.
Photos exclusively obtained by Fox News Digital show Biden leaving church at 6:20 p.m. Saturday, putting on a black baseball cap as he walked out of church flanked by allies and Secret Service members.
The photos were taken roughly five minutes after Trump was injured by a shooter at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, which is located about an hour north of Pittsburgh. Fox News confirmed the attack is being investigated as an assassination attempt.
Trump was seen grabbing his right ear before hitting the ground and Secret Service members then surrounding him. He was then escorted off the stage by the Secret Service, with his right ear covered in blood.

"Fight!" Trump appeared to yell at the crowd while giving a fist bump.
Biden addressed the nation shortly following the assassination attempt, calling it "sick."
"It's sick. It's sick," Biden said. "It's one of the reasons why we have to unite this country."
Biden added that he plans to speak with Trump following the attempted assassination attempt.
"Apparently he's doing well," Biden said. "I plan on talking to him shortly...Look, there's no place in America for this kind of violence."
Trump released a statement on Truth Social, where he said he was shot in the ear. His campaign released a statement earlier that despite the attack, the president is "fine" and receiving medical treatment.
TRUMP SAYS HE WAS 'SHOT WITH A BULLET' IN ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT AT PENNSYLVANIA RALLY
"I want to thank The United States Secret Service, and all of Law Enforcement, for their rapid response on the shooting that just took place in Butler, Pennsylvania. Most importantly, I want to extend my condolences to the family of the person at the Rally who was killed, and also to the family of another person that was badly injured," Trump posted.
"It is incredible that such an act can take place in our Country. Nothing is known at this time about the shooter, who is now dead. 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, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin. Much bleeding took place, so I realized then what was happening. GOD BLESS AMERICA!"
The FBI is leading the investigation into the matter and is calling on anyone with information on the suspect or shooting to report tips.
