Former President Donald Trump described his survival after being shot at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, as a “miracle.”
The incident occurred when a gunman, Thomas Matthew Crooks, opened fire from an elevated position, killing one rallygoer and injuring two others before being fatally shot by Secret Service agents. Trump sustained a bloodied ear and was treated at a hospital. “The doctor called it a miracle,” Trump said. He also mentioned a call from President Biden, who expressed concern and ordered a security review. Trump, seen with blood on his face, emphasized his determination to continue speaking despite the shooting. The FBI is investigating the motive.
