“An incident occurred the evening of July 13 at a Trump rally in Pennsylvania. 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.”
Audio reads “shooter is down” and there are reports of someone in custody.
Edit Definitely blood on his right ear. Just got a better look at it, top of his right ear.
Edit TMZ reports the bullet hit the teleprompter and the shattered glass hit Trump in the ear.
Pinning for visibility, there was another thread I had pinned, then I saw this one was first and has more engagement.
Watching the coverage right now, as the (shots?) rang out, he grabbed his right ear just before the Secret Service took him down and hustled him off.
