<p>Donald Trump just got shot at during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania. Trump survived the gunshot, but his attacker is now dead.</p> 
<p>Trump was rushed off-stage by armed personnel, who quickly formed a protective circle around him. In the frenzy, the former president appeared to fall to the ground, clutching the side of his head, with visible blood on his ear.</p>

<p>Trump’s supporters watched in horror as the former president lay on the stage floor for about a minute. His security team, well-trained for such emergencies, ensured his safety and began escorting him off the stage.</p> 
<p>Despite the obvious danger, Trump managed to rise to his feet, raising his fist in the air in a defiant gesture before being hurriedly taken away in a vehicle.</p> 
<p>Meanwhile billionaire founder of Tesla Motors, Elon Musk, <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1812256998588662068" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">shared</a> the video on Twitter announcing his official endorsement of Trump and prayed for his recovery.</p>

<p>The US Secret Service has confirmed that Trump is safe, having implemented emergency protective measures around the former president.</p> 
<p>The Secret Service spokesperson, Anthony Guglielmi, assured the public that this was now an active investigation and that more information would be released as it became available.</p> 
<p>While Trump remains alive, one other person apart from the shooter has also died. But there is no information on who that might be yet.</p> 
<p>Trump’s campaign team was quick to issue a statement too. Spokesman Steven Cheung confirmed that Trump was fine and expressed the former president’s gratitude to law enforcement and first responders for their quick action.</p> 
<p>Cheung also mentioned that Trump was being checked out at a local medical facility, with more details to follow. El Salvador Bitcoin-loving president Nayib Bukele reacted to the shooting with a simple question: “Democracy?”</p>

<p>President Joe Biden was asked if he’d heard about what happened to Trump, to which he replied, “No.” He <a href="https://x.com/POTUS/status/1812275407044940079" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">stated</a>, in a post, that:</p> 
<blockquote>
 <p><strong>“I have been briefed on the shooting at Donald Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania. I’m grateful to hear that he’s safe and doing well. I’m praying for him and his family and for all those who were at the rally, as we await further information. Jill and I are grateful to the Secret Service for getting him to safety. There’s no place for this kind of violence in America. We must unite as one nation to condemn it.”</strong></p>
</blockquote> 
<p>Earlier today, Biden made a <a href="https://x.com/JoeBiden/status/1812166350049026070" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">post</a> on X saying he’d ban all assault weapons, adding:</p> 
<blockquote>
 <p><strong>“Trump promised the NRA that he’d do nothing about guns. And he means it.”</strong></p>
</blockquote> 
<p>Last year, commentator Tucker Carlson predicted that Trump would be assassinated. He said, <em>“We are speeding towards assassination obviously. They have decided that there’s something about Trump that’s so threatening to them, they just can’t have it.”</em></p> 
<p>A witness told BBC that he saw the shooter before he fired. In his words:</p>
