Upon hearing the gunshots, Secret Service officials quickly moved to protect Trump, surrounding him on the podium and escorting him offstage.
Two armed officials were observed aiming at the gunman after the shots were fired. The assailant was later apprehended and subdued by Secret Service personnel, although their identity and motive remained unclear.
The incident occurred shortly after Trump had begun speaking at his final campaign rally. Trump, aged 78, visibly reacted to the gunshot, clutching his right ear where blood soon became visible. Despite the injury, Trump continued to acknowledge the crowd, repeatedly raising his fist while being shielded by security officials, creating a now-iconic scene.
“I was hit by a bullet that grazed the upper part of my right ear,” Trump later shared on Truth Social. “I immediately sensed something was wrong when I heard shots and felt the bullet tear through my skin,” he recounted.
