Donald Trump assassination attempt:

According to AP news agency former President Donald Trump was the target of an assassination attempt at a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday, just days before he was set to accept the Republican nomination for a third time. A barrage of gunfire caused panic, and a bloodied Trump, who said he was shot in the ear, was quickly surrounded by Secret Service agents and hurried to his SUV, pumping his fist in a show of defiance.

Donald Trump’s campaign stated that the presumptive GOP nominee was doing “fine” after the shooting, which pierced the upper part of his right ear.

“I knew immediately that something was wrong when I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin. Much bleeding took place,”Donald Trump wrote on his social media site.

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida called for a stand against violence that “challenges democracy” on Sunday as he prayed for Donald Trump’s recovery.

In July 2022, Japan’s former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe died in hospital after being shot at a political campaign event.

“We must stand firm against any form of violence that challenges democracy,” Kishida posted on X. “I pray for former President Trump’s speedy recovery.”

French President Emmanuel Macron described the assassination attempt as a “tragedy for our democracies” on Sunday and wished Donald Trump a “speedy recovery.”

“My thoughts are with President Donald Trump, the victim of an assassination attempt,” Macron posted on X. “I send him my wishes for a speedy recovery. A spectator has died, and several others are injured. It is a tragedy for our democracies. France shares the shock and indignation of the American people.”

Trump flew to New Jersey after visiting a local Pennsylvania hospital, landing shortly after midnight at Newark Liberty International Airport. Video posted by an aide showed the former president deplaning his private jet, flanked by U.S. Secret Service agents and heavily armed members of the agency’s counter-assault team, an unusually visible show of force by his protective detail.
