Live updates: FBI says Trump rally was 'assassination attempt on our former president'
Former President Donald Trump says he was shot in the ear when a gunman opened fire in an assassination attempt just minutes into a campaign rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday.
Shots rang out as Trump spoke, and he had blood on the side of his head and his ear when he was rushed to a nearby SUV by Secret Service agents. He posted to his Truth Social account that “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.”
A spectator was killed and two others were seriously injured, local officials said. The gunman, who was posted on the rooftop of a building outside of the rally’s secure area, was also killed.
At a press conference Saturday night, officials said the gunman was not in possession of any identification at the time of the shooting, so they are awaiting biometrics confirmation before making his identity public. Multiple sources told NBC News the shooter was an about 20-year-old man from Pennsylvania.
The motive remains unknown.
A mother and her six children died when their Central Pennsylvania home exploded and caught on fire Sunday morning, state police said.
The explosion and fire happened at around 8:30 a.m. at a home on Long Run Road in Lamar Township, Clinton County, which is roughly 35 miles from State College. Crews arrived on the scene and found the home fully engulfed in flames, with the mother and her six children trapped.
State police identified the 34-year-old woman who died in the fire as Sarah B. Stolzfus. Her 11-year-old son, 10-year-old son, 8-year-old daughter, 6-year-old daughter, 5-year-old son and 3-year-old son also died in the blaze, according to state police.
A propane leak inside the house might’ve caused the explosion and fire, state police said. Propane tanks outside the home did not explode or contribute to the fire, according to state police.
The explosion and fire are under investigation by state police.
