SHOOTER ON ROOF: BULLET TEARS EX-PRESIDENT’S EAR AS MORE THAN SIX SHOTS RING OUT
Butler
Narrow escape from death

Suspect, bystander shot dead and two supporters are critically injured.

Donald Trump narrowly escaped an assassination attempt at a political rally on Saturday in Butler, Pennsylvania, leaving the FBI hunting for information about how a gunman could attack a former US president.

Trump was railing against illegal immigration when shots rang out at 6.08pm. "Take a look at what happened..." he said, his words cut off by four shots in quick succession.

Trump grabbed his right ear as repeated shouts of "get down!" were heard, before a fifth and sixth shot. The former president crouched down behind the lectern as Secret Service agents moved in around him. Screams were heard in the crowd.

Within four seconds, further shots were fired, prompting more supporters to get down while additional agents rushed to the stage. Seventeen seconds after the first shots, a final pop was heard and a woman screamed.
