Texas Rep. Ronny Jackson’s nephew was in the crowd behind Trump at his Saturday rally in Butler, PA.
During the failed assassination attempt, a stray bullet grazed his neck.
Thankfully he survived. Sounds like another miracle.
One bullet grazed Trump’s ear, one grazed Jackson’s nephew’s neck.
This could’ve been worse.
A lot worse.
Less than 1 inch off and it could’ve meant death.

The Hill reports:
Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas) said Saturday that his nephew had been grazed with a bullet while attending former President Trump’s rally.
“My nephew was at the event tonight,” Jackson told Fox News’s Sean Hannity, explaining he was in the “friends and family pen.”
“A bullet crossed his neck, cut his neck, and he was bleeding.”
The Texas Republican, also a former White House physician, said that the pen was situated to the right of the former president and “in the line of fire.” Jackson explained that his sister-in-law had encouraged his nephew to go to the triage tent after the incident.
The U.S. Secret Service said that the one attendee died from the incident, while another two were critically injured.
