A new video shows the move Trump made that likely saved his life, since the bullet that hit him in the ear would have caused greater consequences.
During the rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, Trump was shot in the ear by an assailant now identified by the FBI.
Before he was hit, he had moved his head during the speech, avoiding the blow to the head that would certainly have caused him much more serious injuries, and possibly even death. In the upper right part of the video, you can see the moment when the bullet moves quickly, who then hits him in the ear. At the end of the video, Trump is seen holding his hand to his ear, which was covered in blood.
What do we know so far from the attack on Donald Trump?
The gunman: The FBI identified him as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, who lived in Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, about 35 miles south of the rally location. He was killed at the scene by Secret Service agents. Public records show he was registered to vote as a Republican, but made a small donation to a Democratic-affiliated group in 2021.
Additional threats: Authorities said at a press conference that they do not currently believe there are any additional threats, but that it is still an active investigation and it is too early to definitively say it was a single person.
Casualties: The shooting left one participant dead and two others seriously injured, authorities say. All three were grown men. Although they have been identified by the authorities, these details have not yet been made public.
Trump's condition: A spokesman said Trump is "fine," and the Secret Service said he was out of danger. The former president said on social networks that he was hit by a bullet in "the upper part of my right ear". In the early hours of Sunday morning, Trump returned to Newark, New Jersey.
Investigation: Multiple federal and state agencies are now investigating what happened, how the shooter got into his location, what weapon was used and other unanswered questions. The FBI has asked the public to come forward with any information.
Biden's reaction: President Joe Biden was in Delaware at the time of the shooting, where he had planned to stay for the weekend — but he returned to the White House early Sunday morning so he could continue to be briefed by law enforcement. in order. Earlier, he said he had spoken with Trump and publicly condemned the shooting.
