Former US President Donald Trump was shot yesterday when giving a speech at a rally in Butler County, Pennsylvania. Additionally, one rally attendee was killed and another was critically injured.
He had just started his speech when about four shots rang out, one piercing his upper right ear. Immediately, Secret Service agents surrounded and covered him, then escorted him to a car. Meanwhile, Trump was mouthing, "Fight, fight, fight!" to the crowd and pumped his fist as he exited the stage.
The shooter was later revealed to be dead, shot by the Secret Service. Their identity and motive were not immediately clear.
Trump is expected to announce his running mate sometime around the Republican National Convention, which begins on Monday. However, it is very likely he would have announced it today, if not for the attempted assassination.
This comes at a time when political violence is expected by a large percentage of the population. In May, a survey conducted by Reuters and Ipsos showed that 2 out of every 3 respondents believed political violence could follow the election.
This is a developing story, so make sure to check back in future articles to view the latest updates.
