A number of shots were fired, Trump then clasped his ear and ducked behind his podium. The Republican presidential nominee is safe and only mildly injured. Regrettably, at least one person in the crowd behind Trump appears to have been shot and killed alongside the shooter.<\/p>\n<p>Much remains unclear but we can make two points immediately.<\/p>\n<p>First, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/secret-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Secret Service<\/a> did a good job. Witness testimony <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/SharpFootball\/status\/1812265909727396107\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>suggests<\/a> that the local police apparently failed to relay the gunman\u2019s reported position to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/secret-service\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Secret Service<\/a> in advance of his attack. Still, the first Secret Service agent leapt up onto the stage and covered Trump three seconds after the first shot was fired. Multiple other agents then swarmed Trump within the next one to two seconds.<\/p>\n<p>Having covered the former president, we heard agents noting \u201cHaweye is here\u201d (the codename for the Secret Service Counter Assault Teams). These are the SWAT-type agents who arrived on the stage and who are responsible for engaging assailants so that a protectee can be evacuated. The mix of CAT and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/secret-service-agent-protecting-kamala-harris-involved-in-fight-with-other-agents\/\" title=\"Secret Service agent protecting Kamala Harris involved in fight with other agents\">detail agents<\/a>, guns drawn, then evacuated Trump to his motorcade. Video <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/TomRtweets\/status\/1812269021636763670\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>shows<\/a> what appears to be the prospective assassin on top of a nearby building. His elevated position covered from the ground indicates he may have been killed by the Secret Service\u2019s counter sniper team. The Secret Service has shown here why good training and preparation <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/opinion\/3007457\/the-key-failures-of-slovakian-prime-minister-robert-ficos-security-detail\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>matter immensely<\/a> when it comes to protective security.<\/p>\n<p>Trump also deserves great credit. He was both courageous and defiant. Defiant both of the attacker and, predictably if perhaps less auspiciously, of his Secret Service detail. <\/p>\n<p>In audio and video following the shots that will surely boost his campaign, the former president was heard demanding that he be allowed to put on his shoes back on before leaving the stage. He then demanded the agents let him fist bump the crowd before being evacuated. Video shows Trump attempting to then stand to salute the crowd when he reaches his armored Cadillac. Apparently the breaking point for Trump\u2019s detail, agents were then seen literally pushing Trump into the vehicle and following him in (to assess his injuries). Regardless, the story for Trump will be that of a photo taken by the AP which <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/seungminkim\/status\/1812253165892370570\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>shows<\/a> the bloody eared former president with the American flag in his backdrop.<\/p>\n<p>Top line: this is a tragedy. But the assassin did not succeed.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><a class=\"tdb-logo-a\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" title=\"Washington Examiner\"><span class=\"tdb-logo-img-wrap\"><\/span><span class=\"tdb-logo-text-wrap\"><span class=\"tdb-logo-text-title\">Washington Examiner<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<p><\/body><\/html><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former President Donald Trump was targeted in an apparent assassination attempt during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania.
