Donald Trump told the Republican National Convention on Thursday night that God himself had saved him when a would-be assassin made an attempt on the former president’s life, the bullet creasing his right ear.
And if that is so, the same must be true of a 59-year-old Milwaukee minister who was shot directly into his right ear during a carjacking last fall.
In the case of the minister, Kevin Simmons, a bullet entered through his ear and exited his left cheek in October of 2023. A gunman who police say was a 14-year-old with a firearm then allegedly shot Simmons twice in his upper body as he was moonlighting as an Uber driver. Those bullets also traveled through-and-though, leaving Simmons with a total of six bullet wounds. But none of those three shots struck a major organ.
