At a political rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, Donald Trump reported being shot in the ear, describing a “whizzing sound” and feeling a “bullet ripping through skin.” The Secret Service shot and killed a male attacker after this apparent assassination attempt. The attacker also killed one spectator and critically injured two others. A witness told the BBC they saw a man with a rifle on a nearby roof before the shooting. Video footage shows Trump, the leading Republican presidential contender, dropping to the ground and then standing up with blood on the side of his face.
