A crowd of Donald Trump’s avid supporters gathered this afternoon to watch the Republican presidential candidate deliver his next rallying cry in his campaign.
Instead, they watched as he was shot in what officials are investigating as an apparent assassination attempt. Trump is “fine,” and is being checked out at a local medical facility,” his spokesperson Steven Cheung told The Daily Beast shortly after the shooting. One attendee at the rally, however, was killed, while another two are in critical condition.
The former president then took to Truth Social to thank first responders, describing how he “knew immediately that something was wrong,” describing hearing “a whizzing sound.”
