With blood on his face, Trump later issued a statement revealing that a bullet had grazed his ear.

An assailant fired multiple shots, resulting in one person in the crowd being killed and two others critically injured.

The Secret Service reported that the shooter fired from an elevated position outside the rally venue, and the FBI has since taken over the investigation.

Writing on his Truth Social platform on the night of July 13, Trump wrote, "I want to thank The United States Secret Service, and all of Law Enforcement, for their rapid response on the shooting that just took place in Butler, Pennsylvania. Most importantly, I want to extend my condolences to the family of the person at the Rally who was killed, and also to the family of another person that was badly injured. Incredibly, such an act can take place in our Country."

He added, "Nothing is known at this time about the shooter, who is now dead. I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear. I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, and shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin. Much bleeding took place, so I realized then what was happening. GOD BLESS AMERICA!"
