Trump Family Members React to Rally Shooting

Ivanka Trump has broken her silence following a possible assassination attempt on their father, Donald Trump. “Thank you for your love and prayers for my father and for the other victims of today’s senseless violence in Butler, Pennsylvania,” the former first daughter posted on X (formerly Twitter) after the Trump rally shooting on July 13.

I am grateful to the Secret Service and all the other law enforcement officers for their quick and decisive actions today. I continue to pray for our country,” Ivanka added. “I love you Dad, today and always.”

The former president’s older sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, also shared messages on social media. Alongside a photo of his dad with a bloody ear and one fist up in the air after the shooting, Don Jr. wrote on X: “He’ll never stop fighting to Save America.” Eric posted the same picture on X, writing: “THIS IS THE FIGHTER AMERICA NEEDS!”

The Washington Post’s Meryl Kornfield reported that Butler County District Attorney Richard Goldinger told her that the 45th president of the United States was grazed by gunfire and that one audience member was killed and another person was in serious condition. Two officials who spoke to the Associated Press said that the shooter was not an attendee at the Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania and the shooter killed by secret service agents.

After the incident, Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung released a statement saying: “President Trump thanks law enforcement and first responders for their quick action during this heinous act.” Steven also confirmed that the former president was “fine” and was “being checked out at a local medical facility,” adding, “More details will follow.”
