Trump Returns To Site Of Assassination Attempt In Butler, PA
7 weeks ago
Supporters of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump arrived at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on Saturday (October 5) months after Trump was nearly assassinated at the venue.
Trump narrowly escaped being shot in the head in Butler by a bullet that whizzed by and left his right ear bleeding, a near-miss that exposed serious gaps in security for the former president and led to heightened protection measures for his subsequent outdoor rallies.
By afternoon, thousands of people wearing Trump regalia had filled the event site at the local fairgrounds. Some chanted the "fight, fight, fight" slogan Trump used to rally his followers moments after he was shot.
Trailers were lined up around the site as a protective measure, blocking the view, for example, from the building where the shooter had opened fire.
