Assassination attempt on Donald Trump
Former US President Donald Trump was shot in the ear on Saturday during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Two people died, including the assailant, and two others were seriously injured. The health condition of the Republican candidate is good.
Donald Trump was injured in the ear, fell to the ground, and was covered by Secret Service agents. The politician was taken to the hospital but was discharged shortly afterward.
- There is no place in America for this kind of violence; it is sick. We must unite this country. We cannot allow something like this to happen. We cannot be like this. We cannot tolerate this. The idea that political violence occurs in America is unthinkable (...) Everyone, everyone must condemn it, everyone," commented Joe Biden on the incident.
Trump himself said that it is "unbelievable that something like this could happen in our country."
