Former President Donald Trump is lucky to be alive on Saturday night after an assassination attempt on him at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
A supporter was reportedly killed and Fox is reporting that two others were critically injured.
As we reported, Trump issued a statement about the incident, thinking first of the supporter who was killed and that person's family, as well as the people injured. But he also spoke about what it was like to be injured.
You can check out more on the statement here.

But now there's a truly amazing set of pictures from Doug Mills of the New York Times. He got a picture of what some believe may be the bullet that hit Trump.
We should note that while some journalists are calling it the bullet, neither The New York Times nor the photographer have made that claim at this point. In the third picture on the right, you can see the blood on his hands from this ear.
Had Trump's head been angled differently, it might have turned out very differently. Thankfully, God's hand was on Trump, and he's okay.
Here's Fox video of the full shooting. You can hear Trump saying 'get my shoes,' people then very happy when he raises his fist that he's okay, and they hustle him off. You can also hear Secret Service saying "shooter down." Then supporters were also chanting "USA, USA!" as they rushed Trump out.
In the past, Trump has praised the NY Times photographer who took the series of pictures at the rally. “He’s the No. 1 photographer in the world,” Trump has said, also calling him a "genius photographer." He certainly proved his mettle with this series, as the shots were flying.

Thank you. I’ve got old person vision.
Looks too low to me. Thank God Almighty he’s ok. Hazard pay job for sure.
Possibly the shrapnel from the teleprompter Newsmax was reporting earlier.
Looks legit.
Actually no...now that I get my perspective adjusted...yeah it looks about right height. Dang. Ok thats just amazing!
It’s low but at this point it could be the first shot or second. One of them missed.
Normally I’d say no way, but given the short time it took to get posted it’d be one heck of a job to fake it. That doesn’t have to be the exact bullet that hit Trump but it just might be.
I don’t believe the camera captured the bullet travel. It is far too low in trajectory to pierce his upper ear.
Capturing a speeding bullet takes very fast shutter speed to capture.
Looks exactly like bullet trace.
Bullet trace is created by atmospheric disturbance caused by the shock wave of a super sonic bullet leaving a visible wake showing the path of the bullet
“Looks legit.”
^
No.
It takes a very special high speed camera and flash to photograph a bullet in flight.
It’s a mist of blood and cartilage tissue from Trump’s ear wound that’s following the actual bullet’s vacuum pathway.
Lighting from a favorable sunlight angle has illuminated the trail.
A mini con-trail about 0.22 inches in diameter give or take.
I normally pray the Rosary when I run and always pray for the safety of PDJT. Time to double up!
I agree. This could have been Photoshopped.
I just heard on FoxNews that Teddy Roosevelt continued to give his speech, AFTER he was shot!

Thank you for this! Has Trump been compared to Teddy Roosevelt?

If he had not turned or leaned forward he would have been killed.
