Donald Trump has been shot…
While campaigning in Pennsylvania on Saturday, former Presiden Donald Trump was shot on the side of his head; an assassin took nine shots at the former POTUS, according to reports.
“And then the worst president in the history of our country took over. And look what happened to our country. Probably 20 million people [came in illegally]. And, you know, that’s a little bit old, that chart… that chart’s a couple of months old. And if you want to really see something that sad, take a look at what happened over…” Trump said before the shots were fired.

From The New York Post:
Several gunshots rang out just about five minutes into his speech shortly after 6 p.m., sending Trump to the ground as Secret Service agents jumped in to cover him
Trump appeared to grab his ear in the moments before he was taken to the floor by the Secret Service. He was heard asking for his shoes as the guards rushed him away.
Soldiers in military gear were seen rushing into the rally.
Nine shots could be heard in video of the incident, including three before Trump ducked.
Law enforcement sources said that he appeared to be grazed by a ricochet.
Members of the crowd could be heard screaming in panic as several pops could be heard.
Thousands had attended the campaign rally in Butler, where Trump was rumored to make an announcement about his Vice Presidential pick ahead of the Republican National Convention next week.
