Trump was holding a rally at a Pennsylvania Arena on the 13 of July when around 8 bullets whizzed through the crowd from a rooftop around 150 yards from the arena with a clear line of view on to the stage where Trump was giving his speech and one of the 8 bullets grazed his ear and 2 others were injured along with one more who died (gunman injured 3 people and killed 1) with an AR-15.
