Donald Trump, a candidate in the upcoming U.S. presidential elections, was slightly wounded on Saturday when a young man fired a gun at him. President Biden and political leaders worldwide
have condemned the attack and the broader issue of political violence.
Photos show Trump standing back up after the incident, with blood coming from his right ear. The shooter was shot by security forces, and a bystander also died. Trump's wounds are minor, and the convention to formally nominate the Republican candidate can proceed as scheduled on Monday.
Political leaders quickly expressed their shock. Condemnations came from UN Secretary-General António Guterres, the prime ministers of the UK, Japan, Hungary, and Italy, and President Zelensky of Ukraine. President Biden stated that political violence is unacceptable and should be condemned by all. © Photo by Xinhua/ABACAPRESS.COM
