Trump said in a statement that he was “shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear,” adding on Truth Social that he “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, so I realized then what was happening.”
