READ: Trump Campaign Releases Statement After Apparent Assassination Attempt


President Trump was shot during his rally in Pennsylvania today.

This is one of the darkest moments in American history, no doubt about it.

But, it is also a miracle.

The shooter appeared to aim for President Trump’s head, but narrowly missed, grazing his ear instead.

Make no mistake, God was watching over our president.

Now, Donald Trump’s campaign has just released a statement on his condition following the shooting.

They say he is “fine and is being checked out at a local medical facility.”

AP reports:

Donald Trump’s campaign said in a statement that he was “fine” after being whisked off the stage at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania after apparent gunshots rang through the crowd.

“President Trump thanks law enforcement and first responders for their quick action during this heinous act,” spokesman Steven Cheung said in a statement. “He is fine and is being checked out at a local medical facility. More details will follow.”

The former president and presumptive Republican nominee was showing off a chart of border crossing numbers during his last rally before the Republican National Convention opens Monday when bangs started ringing through the crowd. Trump could be seen reaching with his right hand toward his neck. There appeared to be blood on his face.

He quickly ducked behind the riser as agents from his protective detail rushed the stage and screams were heard in the crowd of several thousand people. The bangs continued as agents tended to him on stage.

The crowd cheered as he got back up and pumped his fist.

His motorcade has since left the venue. His condition was not immediately known.

We’ll keep you updates as new details unfold.
