Law enforcement officials have informed two different sources that former President Donald Trump was struck by glass shards, not a bullet. The officials told both Newsmax’s Alex Salvi and Axios’ Juliegrace Brufke that Trump was hit by glass fragments, likely from a teleprompter shattered by gunfire.
Trump later claimed in a Truth Social post that his ear was hit by a bullet. Earlier on Saturday, law enforcement sources confirmed that the suspect who fired a weapon at a Pennsylvania Trump rally had been killed, along with at least one person in the crowd.
Videos showed Trump grabbing his neck after apparent gunshots were fired before Secret Service agents pulled him to the ground. They then took him away in an armored vehicle to a hospital where he was treated for his injuries. The identity of the shooting suspect has not yet been released.
