Law enforcement officials have claimed to two different sources that former President Donald Trump was not grazed by a bullet but rather by glass shards.
The officials in question told both Newsmax’s Alex Salvi and Axios’ Juliegrace Brufke that Trump was hit by glass shards that may have erupted from the shattering of a teleprompter that was hit by gunfire.
Trump himself later said in a post to Truth Social that his ear was hit by a bullet.
Earlier on Saturday, law enforcement sources confirmed that the person suspected of firing a weapon at a Pennsylvania Trump rally had been killed, as had at least one person in the crowd.
Videos showed Trump grabbing his neck after apparent gunshots had been fired before Secret Service agents pulled him to the ground. They then took him away in an armored vehicle to a hospital where he was treated for injuries.
