Washington:Former US President Donald Trump, who was shot at an election rally in a possible assassination attempt just a day before the Republican Party is scheduled to begin its convention to formally declare him its nominee for the White House, described the horror aftermath of him being rushed off to safety by USS agents. Trump touched the right side of his face after what seemed like the first two shots and dropped to the ground.
Secret Service agents threw themselves on him to protect him. When they rose, the agents had him inside protective of their bodies. The former President appeared to be bleeding on the right side of the face. He raised a fist in the air as he was led away. He was taken to a local medical facility for treatment.
"I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear," former President Trump said in a post on Truth Social, the media platform he launched after he was banished from Twitter, which is now called X."I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, and shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin. Much bleeding took place, so I realised then what was happening. The shooter, who remains unidentified, was shot dead.
