Trump himself was grazed by a bullet during the campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. “I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social. “I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin. Much bleeding took place, so I realized then what was happening. GOD BLESS AMERICA!”
Corey Comperatore, a 50-year-old former volunteer fire chief and Trump rally-goer, was fatally shot as he shielded his family from gunfire.
