According to the Daily Mail, Donald Trump, the ex-president, was allegedly targeted at a gathering. Witnesses claimed that Trump clutched his face and blood splattered on his cheek after hearing a series of popping sounds, causing his supporters to flee for safety. Despite the incident, the former president reassured the crowd by raising his fist, indicating that he was not seriously harmed, while Secret Service agents rushed to escort him off the stage. Although Trump was subsequently hospitalized, his campaign assured the public that he is in good condition.

According to NBC News, “Three senior law enforcement officials said that they are looking into whether two other individuals in the crowd were shot at the rally. The threat has been ‘contained,’ according to the officials.”
