Trump says he was shot in the “upper part of the right ear”; see statement

Former US President Donald Trump said he was shot and hit by a bullet in the “top of my right ear” on Saturday (13).

Trump said in a statement to Truth Social that he “knew immediately something was wrong as I heard a buzzing sound, gunshots and immediately felt the bullet rip through my skin.”

Still according to his message, there was a lot of bleeding and, after that, he realized what was happening.

Condolences were also offered to the family of the spectator who was in the audience and died and to the other person who was seriously injured.

See Trump’s full message:

“I want to thank the United States Secret Service and all law enforcement agencies for their quick response to the shooting that just occurred in Butler, Pennsylvania. Most importantly, I want to extend my condolences to the family of the person who was killed and also to the family of another person who was seriously injured. It is incredible that such an act could occur in our country. No word yet on the shooter, who is now deceased. I was struck by a bullet that pierced the top of my right ear. I knew immediately something was wrong because I heard a buzzing sound, gunshots, and immediately felt the bullet tear through my skin. There was a lot of bleeding, and then I realized what was happening. GOD BLESS AMERICA!”
