Trump says his ear was hit by a bullet, nothing yet known about shooter

In a social media post, Trump said he was "shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear."

He wrote on his Truth Social platform that he "knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin. Much bleeding took place, so I realized then what was happening. GOD BLESS AMERICA!"

Trump also thanked the Secret Service and other law endorsement for their "rapid response." And he extended 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."

"It is incredible that such an act can take place in our Country. Nothing is known at this time about the shooter, who is now dead," he said.
