DETROIT, July 13, 2024 ~ Former President Donald Trump was injured when a gunman opened fire Saturday at a rally in Pennsylvania.
Reports suggest that the shots originated from the rooftop of a building just outside the rally, grazing the former president alongside the right side of his head. Trump quickly dropped to the ground after the shots rang out and was immediately swarmed by Secret Service.
After a few moments, the Secret Service helped Trump to his feet and quickly ushered him off stage to a waiting vehicle. Blood could be seen dripping from the former President’s right ear as a dazed Trump pulled together the wherewithal to show the crowd a defiant fist in the air.
