The incident comes just two months after another assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, where former President Trump was shot in the ear during a campaign rally.
Rolling at an email on the situation, Trump wrote, “There were gunshots in my vicinity, but before rumors start spiraling out of control, I wanted you to hear this first: I AM SAFE AND WELL!”
