Looks like some sort of injury to Trump, likely superficial.

Following. Really hope nobody has been harmed.

Nothing on BBC yet

Doodlebugbop · 13/07/2024 23:30

Looks like they've shot him in the top of his ear

WinterMorn · 13/07/2024 23:30

It’s on SKY, looks like a major security breach and the footage is shocking

I wonder how he feels about guns now. I expect it won’t change his views.

Looks like the bullet knocked his cap off sky are reporting.

I can't believe how chilled the crowd look.

As he was being escorted off stage he was fist pumping away and was very defiant

Looked like something low powered hit him on the back of his neck by his reaction. I'm no Trump fan but this is shocking and hope he's OK.

GeneralMusings · 13/07/2024 23:35

It's on BBC now but they have said loud noises rather than shots and v careful not to say anything.

I agree. There is absolutely no place for this whatsoever.

Yes, this will certainly rally the troops in all the wrong ways.

GeneralMusings · 13/07/2024 23:37

Yes my concern will be that it mobilised his supporters.

DaftyLass · 13/07/2024 23:37

Dang

Beyondbeliefsometimes · 13/07/2024 23:41

If there was shots fired and they missed trump, how have they not hit the people behind him. Wouldn't surprise me if Trump set this up, to drum up his supporters.

That’s exactly what dh just said

i dont like the man but i don’t think people should be taking pot shots at him

Catmoobs · 13/07/2024 23:42

Fist pumping after being shot in the head isn’t a normal first reaction to have…the cynic in me says maybe this was orchestrated. Something low powered, cause a bit of blood but no actual threat.

WinterMorn · 13/07/2024 23:43

Bloody Hell

There are video clips on Twitter/X. Looks like his ear is bleeding.

This.

ElecticBetty · 13/07/2024 23:44

I highly doubt Donald trump would arrange someone to shoot into his own crowd, when he was surrounded by security personnel.

that’s one conspiracy theory too far!

Very surprised this hasn't happened before. The pull away shots show how small that rally really was as well.
