President Biden has issued a statement.President Joe Biden breaks his silence on Donald Trump’s assassination attempt

Donald Trump is safe after an assassination attempt at his Pennsylvania rally where he was rushed off stage with blood coming from his ear.

The former president raised his fist and shouted ‘fight , fight, fight’ after shots were fired at the event in front of thousands of MAGA fans.

The U.S. Secret Service said that the ‘former President is safe’ in a new statement

President Joe Biden sent out a statement at 7:53 p.m. saying he is ‘praying’ for former President Donald Trump and condemning ‘this kind of violence’ in the aftermath of Saturday’s shooting at Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania:

I have been briefed on the shooting at Donald Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania. I’m grateful to hear that he’s safe and doing well. I’m praying for him and his family and for all those who were at the rally, as we await further information. Jill and I are grateful to the Secret Service for getting him to safety. There’s no place for this kind of violence in America. We must unite as one nation to condemn it.’

An incident occurred the evening of July 13 at a Trump rally in Pennsylvania. The Secret Service has implemented protective measures and the former President is safe. This is now an active Secret Service investigation and further information will be released when available.
Attendees at the rally reportedly said they heard Secret Service agents say ‘the shooter is down’ after swarming the stage to come to the ex-president’s side.

His close-up eye witness account, told exclusively to DailyMail.com, reveals the terror, anger and then finally relief that coursed through the Pennsylvania crowd as a gunman tried to assassinate the 45th president of the United States and the front return to return to power next year.

‘I instinctively looked to the left,’ he said, searching for the source of the sound. ‘The next time I turned back to look at the president, he was being taken to the ground by the Secret Service agents.’

As he watched agents use their bodies to shield Trump on the ground, he could hear more gunshots targeted at the shooter

He crouched to protect himself from getting caught in crossfire. Around him others flung themselves to the ground.

People were sobbing, he said, while others started to pray for the former president.

Suddenly the area was bristling with firearms. In front of him every agent and law enforcement officer had drawn their weapons, eyes scanning the crowd for targets.

From his vantage point he could hear the agents with Trump getting themselves organized. It brought a small measure of relief.

‘They weren’t calling for medical support. They were getting ready to move him,’ he said. ‘That made me more optimistic.’

As he watched, Trump got to his feet, held by agents. Marnell could see the blood trickling from a point just about his right ear.

He stood on the corner of the stage and put his fist up in the air and shook it a few times,’ said Marnell, his voice shaking with adrenaline.

‘It was a very defiant gesture. And when I saw that, I was really hopeful that he’d be okay.’

Marnell is best known as ‘Brick Suit guy’ for his outfit designed to replicate Trump’s wall.
