Prime Business Africa reports that law enforcement agents could be seen moving the body of the shooter at the Trump rally.
The county prosecutor confirmed that two individuals lost their lives at the Trump rally, one of whom was the suspect.
The former president was rushed off stage after what the FBI is now calling an assassination attempt. Footage showed him grimace and raise a hand to his right ear, before ducking as several sharp cracks – a series of shots – broke out.
In a post on his Truth Social network, Trump said a bullet pierced the “upper part” of his right ear and thanked the Secret Service. He left hospital shortly after receiving treatment.
The gunman has been shot dead by Secret Service agents. At a news conference, the FBI said that they were waiting for DNA results to come in before naming him – this is expected to happen in the coming hours.
The shooting also killed one bystander and injured two others. Authorities say all three victims are adult males.
President Joe Biden has strongly condemned the “sick” attack, adding, “There’s no place in America for this kind of violence.” He has also spoken to Trump.
