Former U.S. President Donald Trump, injured in the ear, escaped an assassination attempt on Saturday during a campaign rally, a development that has significantly impacted the ongoing campaign.

Trump, 78, was evacuated with a bloodied face after the shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania. Before agents escorted him to a large black vehicle, he raised a fist toward the crowd in a gesture of defiance. The shooter and a bystander were killed, and two spectators — all adult men — were seriously injured, according to police.
