Firing at Donald Trump's rally: Former US President Donald Trump has been attacked at an election rally. Trump was shot, in which he was injured. He was immediately taken to the hospital. An assassination attempt was made on him just a day before the Republican Party began its convention to formally declare him as its candidate for the White House.
Trump fell to the ground after being shot. Secret Service agents surrounded him to protect him and then took him inside. The former president was bleeding from the right side of his face. He raised his hands in the air as he was being carried away. He was taken to a local medical facility for treatment.

President Biden spoke to Trump
President Joe Biden said in his message to the nation that he tried to talk to Trump — marking the first time Biden has publicly addressed Trump as “Donald.”
He said, “I will try to talk to them soon.” He further said, “There is no place for this kind of violence in America. It is disgusting. The rally should have taken place peacefully without any problems.”
Biden did not say anything about whether it was an assassination attempt. He said that he would wait until full information came in. Secret Service communications chief Anthony Guglielmi said in a statement, “The former president is safe.” Trump's communications director Steven Cheung said in a statement, “Former President Trump is fine and is being examined at a local medical facility.”
