Pennsylvania: Following the failed assassination attempt of Donald Trump, a video has emerged on social media of Secret Service snipers in action from when shots were fired at the former United States President during his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Trump, the presumptive nominee of the Republican Party for November\u2019s US presidential elections, is \u2018fine\u2019 after the attack, his team said.<\/p>\n
In the video from the Trump rally, widely shared on X (formerly Twitter), one of the two snipers who were placed on the roof of a building near the rally stage, is seen raising his head, having possibly spotted the shooter. The snipers then open fire.<\/p>\n
Seconds later, shots are are heard, this time in Trump\u2019s direction, and he is seen taking cover behind the stage dais. Secret Service agents rush to shield the ex-President.<\/p>\n
The gunman, who was neutralised by the Secret Service, took aim at the ex-President from an elevated position, according to the agency.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne rally attendee was killed and two other spectators were injured,\u201d the agency said in a statement.<\/p>\n
According to the New York Post, the Republican Senator, 77, who will clinch a second presidential term if he defeats his Democrat rival, most likely Joe Biden, the incumbent President, was \u2018moments away from getting his face shot open\u2019 by the would-be assassin.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile Trump, in his statement on the attack, stated that the shooter\u2019s bullet \u2018pierced my right ear.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
