According to a media report on Monday, former US President Donald Trump underwent a precautionary CT scan after being shot in the upper ear during a campaign event. Luckily, the scan came back clear, providing some relief to the country's 78-year-old leader.
The incident occurred at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday, when a 20-year-old gunman fired multiple shots at Trump, injuring his right ear. Photos from the event showed Trump with blood on his ear and cheek as he was swiftly taken off the stage. Later, Trump confirmed that he had indeed been shot in the ear.
As a precaution, Trump underwent a computed tomography scan, which thankfully showed no signs of any serious injury. It is unclear whether any other tests were performed on him, as reported by CNN.
The shooter was identified by the FBI as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks from Bethel Park, Pennsylvania. The Secret Service, responsible for the protection of former presidents, confirmed that they had taken down the suspected shooter, who had fired at Trump from a nearby rooftop.
Although Trump's injuries were minor, it was a close call as some photographs captured the bullet narrowly missing his head. Despite the scare, Trump continued with his scheduled plans and arrived in Milwaukee on Sunday for the Republican National Convention, set to begin on Monday.
This incident serves as a reminder of the dangers faced by political leaders and the importance of strong security measures. We can only hope that such violent acts do not continue to mar the upcoming elections.
