PM Shehbaz condemns shocking attack on Trump, wishes him a swift recovery.
Trump was shot in the ear during a campaign rally on Saturday, causing his blood to streak across his face. Security agents quickly surrounded him, and he emerged moments later, raising his fist and mouthing, “Fight! Fight! Fight!”
The shooter was killed, one rally attendee was fatally wounded, and two other spectators were injured, according to the Secret Service. The incident is being investigated as an assassination attempt, a source told Reuters.
Trump, 78, had just begun his speech when the gunfire erupted. He initially grabbed his right ear with his hand, looked at the blood, and then dropped to his knees behind the podium before Secret Service agents shielded him.
He reappeared about a minute later, his red “Make America Great Again” hat knocked off, and could be heard saying, “wait, wait,” before raising his fist. Agents then rushed him to a black SUV.
“I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear,” Trump later said on his Truth Social platform following the incident in Butler, Pennsylvania, about 30 miles north of Pittsburgh. “There was significant bleeding.”
The Trump campaign reported that he was “doing well.”
The shooting took place less than four months before the November 5 election, where Trump is set for a rematch with Democratic President Joe Biden. Most opinion polls, including those by Reuters/Ipsos, show the two candidates in a tight race.
President Biden responded in a statement: “There’s no place for this kind of violence in America. We must unite as one nation to condemn it.”
