Journalist Captures Photo Of Bullet Whizzing Past Trump’s Head After It Hit His Ear

 New York Times photojournalist Doug Mills captured a photo on Saturday that appears to show the bullet that struck former President Donald Trump in the ear during an assassination attempt.

The photo was one of three that Mills captured of the exact moment the shooting happened.

The first photo showed the bullet whizzing past Trump’s ear, while the second photo shows Trump grabbing his ear, a sign that the bullet hit him.

After Trump was hit, he dropped to the ground as Secret Service agents rushed in to protect him.

Once the Secret Service agents got him up, they were in the process of rushing him off stage when he stopped them so he could deliver a message.

“Wait! Wait! Wait!” Trump said to the agents. Then, looking at the thousands of supporters who showed up, he raised his fist and shouted: “Fight! Fight! Fight!”

In a statement, the U.S. Secret Service said that “a suspected shooter fired multiple shots toward the stage from an elevated position outside of the rally venue.”

“US Secret Service personnel neutralized the shooter, who is now deceased,” the statement said. “US Secret Service quickly responded with protective measures and the former president is safe and being evaluated. One spectator was killed, two spectators were critically injured. The incident is currently under investigation and the Secret Service has formally notified the Federal Bureau of investigation.”

Trump released a statement thanking “The United States Secret Service, and all of Law Enforcement, for their rapid response on the shooting that just took place in Butler, Pennsylvania.”

“Most importantly, I want to extend my condolences to the family of the person at the Rally who was killed, and also to the family of another person that was badly injured,” he said. “It is incredible that such an act can take place in our Country.”

“Nothing is known at this time about the shooter, who is now dead,” he continued. “I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear. I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin. Much bleeding took place, so I realized then what was happening. GOD BLESS AMERICA!”
