The world was rocked tonight as Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt in Butler Pennsylvania during a campaign rally. Early reports indicate that 12,000 people were in attendance. A shooter opened fire on the former President during his speech, with at least the bullet or a fragment from Trump’s teleprompter hitting his face. Others in the crowd were injured and killed.
The FBI has called the shooting at former President Donald Trump’s rally Saturday night an attempted assassination.
“This evening, we had what we’re calling an assassination attempt against our former President Donald Trump. It’s still an active crime scene,” said Kevin Rojek, the special agent in charge of the FBI’s Pittsburgh field office, speaking at a news conference in Butler, Pennsylvania.
He said authorities are “working feverishly to attempt to identify the individual who did this and any motives behind why this was done,” and asked the public to reach out with any information that might help.
