Former President Donald Trump on Saturday night described the chaotic scene at his Pennsylvania rally, where a bullet pierced through his upper right ear.
Trump was rushed off stage Saturday afternoon at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, after a series of gunshots rang out.  A source has confirmed to Just The News that the suspected shooter is dead, along with one other attendee.Â
The former president and GOP presidential candidate put out a statement from a medical facility where he was being checked out after the shooting, and sent his condolences to the family of the victim who was killed.
The identities of the shooter and the victim have not been disclosed so far.
“I want to thank The United States Secret Service, and all of Law Enforcement, for their rapid response on the shooting that just took place in Butler, Pennsylvania,” Trump said in a post to Truth Social. “Most importantly, I want to extend my 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 continued. “I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear. I 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!”
President Joe Biden said he has been briefed on the situation, and that every law enforcement agency in the country was investigating the shooting.
“I’m grateful to hear that he’s safe and doing well. I’m praying for him and his family and for all those who were at the rally, as we await further information,” the president said in a statement. “Jill and I are grateful to the Secret Service for getting him to safety. There’s no place for this kind of violence in America.”
