The gunman behind the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump on Saturday, July 13, has been shot and killed by the Secret Service.
The shooter, identified as a Chinese man, was positioned as a sniper hundreds of yards away from Trump’s podium in Butler, Pennsylvania, where he was speaking to a campaign crowd.
As Trump was addressing his supporters, bullets suddenly rang out in the middle of his remarks. Trump instinctively put his hand to his right ear before being tackled to the ground by Secret Service agents.
Seconds later, Trump rose to his feet and told his security detail to “wait” before pumping his fist and shouting “fight” to the shocked crowd.
