Former president Donald Trump survived the attempt on his life when a 20-year-old shooter fired multiple shots at him at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania, injuring his right ear. The shooting left one person attending the rally dead and two others in serious condition.

The suspected shooter was shot and killed by a member of the Secret Service.

Taking to his social media platform Truth Social platform, Trump said, “It was God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening,” CNN reported.

“In this moment, it is more important than ever that we stand united, and show our true character as Americans, remaining strong and determined, and not allowing evil to win,” he said.

“We will FEAR NOT,” said Trump, the Republican Party’s presumptive presidential nominee.

He said he would remain “resilient” and added, “Our love goes out to the other victims and their families,” according to the report.

A spokesperson for the Trump Campaign said the former president is “fine” after the “heinous act.”

Melania Trump, the wife of former US President Donald Trump, issued a statement, following the attack on her husband on Sunday, and said that the “fabric” of the country is “tattered.”

Thanking the Secret Service agents and law enforcement officials who escorted Trump, the former First Lady further urged countrymen to unite again.
