1. According to the US Secret service, donald trump is "fine." The assailant was shot and killed by the law enforcement officers. Since Ronald Reagan was shot in 1981, this was the first attempt to kill a president or presidential contender. Only four months before the US presidential elections, there is an attack.
 
2. The US Secret service agents shot and killed the gunman, who was not present at the protest, according to sources. The president and the leading party nominees travel everywhere with the heavily armed tactical squad, which is designed to neutralize any active threats.

3. During his address, trump was heard to mutter "oh" as soon as the first gun was fired. His right hand was placed on his right ear. Two additional rounds were fired later. It took the Secret service two minutes to transport trump from the event site to a waiting vehicle. The extent of Trump's injuries is now unknown.
 
4. Donald trump showed that he was unmoved by the incident by turning back to the audience and raising his fist before being loaded into his car. He later expressed gratitude to the police for their prompt response. "First responders and law enforcement are appreciated by President trump for their prompt response during this horrific incident. He is being examined at a nearby medical institution and is doing great. In a statement, publicist Steven Cheung stated that more information would be provided.

5. The shooting was conveyed to US President Joe Biden. "I've been informed about the incident that occurred during Donald Trump's pennsylvania event. That he is safe and doing well pleases me. As we await further details, I'm praying for him, his family, and everyone who attended the protest. We are appreciative to the Secret service for securing his safety, Jill and I. This type of brutality has no place in America. To denounce it, we must come together as a country," he declared.
 
6. Barack Obama, a former US president, also denounced the shooting. In our democracy, political violence has no place at all. We should all be happy that former President trump was not gravely injured, even if we don't yet know precisely what transpired. We should also take this opportunity to renew our commitment to decency and civility in politics. "I'm wishing him a speedy recovery, along with Michelle," he remarked.
 
7. The Chief of Communications for the united states Secret service, Anthony Guglielmi, wrote on X: “An incident occurred the evening of July 13 at a trump rally in Pennsylvania. The Secret service has implemented protective measures and the former President is safe. This is now an active Secret service investigation and further information will be released when available.”

8. Trump’s eldest son, donald trump Jr., posted a photo on X of trump showing his fist raised in front of an American flag. “He’ll never stop fighting to Save America," he wrote.

9. The FBI and other intelligence agencies were at the spot to investigate the shooting. Meanwhile, the Biden campaign was pausing all messaging to supporters and is working to pull down all of its television ads as quickly as possible, it said.
