On July 13, 2024, former United States president Donald Trump was injured in a shooting at a rally he held at a Farm Show venue in Butler, Pennsylvania.[1] According to witnesses and video footage, he appeared to have been bleeding from his right ear after the shooting.[2]

Background

Former President Donald Trump is the presumptive Republican nominee for the 2024 United States presidential election. The rally was held as part of his presidential campaign for the election in order to raise votes in the swing state of Pennsylvania.[3] Trump's rallies are screened for weapons and prohibited items.[4] The shooting occurred a few days before the Republican National Convention to be held on July 15, 2024. Days before the incident, President Joe Biden stated "it's time to put Trump in a bullseye".[5]

Shooting

Witnesses and reporters stated that multiple shots were fired.[6][7] According to New York Times photographer Doug Mills, who was at the scene, three to four gunshots were heard.[8] The Times also reported that a rallygoer could have been hit by a ricocheting bullet, noting that blood was visible in the left-hand bleachers at the venue. Witnesses report that they saw Secret Service chase out someone on the left of the bleachers.[9][10]

Aftermath

United States Secret Service agents lunged toward Trump, who after a few seconds on the ground, got up, raised and pumped his fist at the crowd in defiance, and was then escorted to a vehicle.[11] A spokesman for the Secret Service confirmed that "an incident occured" and affirmed that Trump was "safe".[12] He was shortly afterwards examined at a local medical facility, according to campaign spokesman Steven Cheung who also affirmed that Trump was "fine".[13]

"Someone in the crowd" is believed to have been killed.[14]

Responses

President Joe Biden received a briefing on the incident.[15]

Representative Ruben Gallego,[16] Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer,[17] House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries,[18] Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer,[19] Secretary of State Peter Buttigieg[20] and Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro[21] issued statements denouncing political violence.

Businessman Elon Musk endorsed Trump after the shooting.[22]

The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mike Johnson, posted on Twitter "Praying for President Trump."[23]
