BUTLER, PENNSYLVANIA
Former U.S. President Donald Trump was shot in the ear
during a campaign rally on Saturday after a major security lapse, an attack that will likely reshape this year's presidential race and fuel long-standing fears that the campaign could descend into political violence.
In the moments after the shooting, Mr. Trump was swarmed and covered up by his security agents. He quickly emerged, his face streaked with blood, and pumped his fist in the air, mouthing the words "Fight! Fight! Fight!"
The Trump campaign later said he was "doing well".
The FBI identified Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, of Bethel
Park, Pennsylvania, as the "subject involved" in what it termed an attempted assassination in a
statement early on Sunday. He was a registered Republican, according to state
voter records.
MODI, OTHER WORLD LEADERS DECRY ATTACK
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday joined world
leaders in condemning the assassination attempt at former U.S. President
Donald Trump.
"Deeply concerned by the attack on my friend, former President Donald Trump. Strongly condemn the incident. Violence has no place in politics and democracies. Wish him a speedy recovery," said Mr. Modi.
