Trump has just tweeted.  He thanked the Secret Service and law enforcement as well as sent his prayers to the person killed in the stands.  He said he was shot in the upper ear then ended with a God Bless America.

It is an absolute miracle from God that bullet wasn't a fraction over a bit, otherwise it would have been a head shot and he would have been gone.

What has happened to this country? The world is seeing us in shambles...

This is horrifying this is happening in our America. There hasn't been an assassination attempt since Ronald Reagan on a president.

Thankfully Trump is alright.  He said he will be find in a post.  So sad some innocent person was killed and two other people critically injured.

Very grateful for the secret service and law enforcement who did their job exceptionally today.  But something needs to be said, how was this shooter allowed to even be within the vicinity?  This will certainly be investigated. 

This could have been much worse, and we're lucky the former President was not killed.

This will be an iconic image and be used throughout history.  It's got Iwo Jima flag planting vibes. This image will be historical.

We now know the shooter was a 20 year old sniper on a roof outside of the fair grounds.  That is about all we know so far.  Police snipers shot the shooter instantly after he shot.

Resilience and defiance. It shows strength.  This image will become an important image in American history. 

[Wolfwood]

The fact that Trump turned his head at the exact right moment, saved his life.

The name of the shooter has been listed and is know circulating.

America is lucky this attempt didn't become a reality.  It was that close.  It could have been so much worse, but what happened is already sad.  Senseless loss of life. We are witnessing history.

We've learned everything about the shooter now.  Now we got to learn how this even happened and got to this point.

Hopefully this does indeed lead to a cool down in all the false accusations and isms coming from the politicians and media.

But likely after a few weeks or even days, it will go back to normal.

Trump is already at the RNC convention in Milwaukie.
