Trump ‘safe’ after being shot: Secret Service- Washington Examiner
The article discusses an incident where shots were fired at a campaign rally where former President Donald Trump was speaking in Pennsylvania. The Secret Service confirmed that Trump is safe after the incident. The article provides details about the event and the response from security officials. The event took place at the Fayette County Fairgrounds in Dunbar Township, Pennsylvania, where Trump was speaking as part of his “Save America” rally tour. According to witnesses, the rally was interrupted by the sound of gunfire, causing chaos and panic among attendees.
The Secret Service quickly responded to the incident, securing Trump and ensuring his safety. They confirmed that the shots were fired outside of the venue and that there were no injuries reported. Authorities are currently investigating the incident and trying to determine the motive behind the shooting.
Trump’s campaign team released a statement condemning the violence and expressing gratitude for the swift response of the Secret Service. They also praised Trump for his composure during the incident.
The incident comes amidst heightened security concerns surrounding Trump’s rallies, as tensions have been running high in the wake of the 2020 election and the January 6th Capitol riot. Trump has continued to espouse baseless claims of election fraud and has been urging his supporters to fight against what he calls a “stolen election.”
The shooting at the rally has once again highlighted the risks of political violence in the current polarized climate. Security officials are on high alert for any potential threats as Trump continues his nationwide tour. The incident serves as a sobering reminder of the need for increased security measures at political events to protect both candidates and attendees.
Trump ‘safe’ after shooting at campaign rally: Secret Service
Former President Donald Trump is “safe” after shots were fired while speaking at a campaign rally Saturday evening in Pennsylvania, according to the Secret Service.
“An incident occurred the evening of July 13 at a Trump rally in Pennsylvania,” U.S. Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said in a statement to X. “The Secret Service has implemented protective measures and the former President is safe. This is now an active Secret Service investigation and further information will be released when available.”
Trump had just commenced his remarks Saturday evening when shots rang out and the former president was bleeding from his right ear.
Secret Service agents jumped up and surrounded Trump as they took him to the ground. A few seconds later, the agents jointly lifted him to his feet and walked him down the stage stairs to the motorcade.
