Trump assassination attempt what we know so far

Former US president Donald Trump has been shot and injured in an assassination attempt in Pennsylvania Donald Trump has said a bullet “pierced” part of his ear when he was shot at a campaign rally in the US. Images showed the bloodied former president defiantly pumping his fist in the air after the assassination attempt. Here is what we know so far: – What happened? Mr Trump was addressing a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday. He was showing a chart of border crossing numbers when bangs started ringing out after 6.10pm local time. The ex-president could be seen grimacing and reaching with his right hand towards the side of head, before blood appeared on his face. He quickly ducked as Secret Service agents rushed the stage to surround him. There were screams from audience members as the bangs continued. The crowd cheered as he got back up and pumped his fist before he was taken to his motorcade. Police evacuated the site shortly after Mr Trump left the stage. One rally attendee was killed and two other spectators were critically injured, authorities said. All were identified as men. The suspected gunman, who attacked from an “elevated position” outside the rally venue, was fatally shot. The FBI has taken over the investigation. – Is Mr Trump OK? Pictures showed blood on the former president’s right ear and part of his face. Writing on his Truth Social platform, Mr Trump said he was “shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear”. Spokesman Steven Cheung said Mr Trump is “fine”, while the former president’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr, said his father “is in great spirits”. – What has Mr Trump said? Mr Trump wrote: “I want to thank the United States Secret Service, and all of law enforcement, for their rapid response on the shooting that just took place in Butler, Pennsylvania. “Most importantly, I want to extend my condolences to the family of the person at the rally who was killed, and also to the family of another person that was badly injured. “It is incredible that such an act can take place in our country.” He added: “I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin. “Much bleeding took place, so I realised then what was happening. GOD BLESS AMERICA!” – Where did Mr Trump go afterwards? He was checked out at a local medical facility before flying to New Jersey. – Who is the suspected gunman? The FBI named 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, as the gunman. – What was his motivation? A motive has not yet been identified, but authorities are treating the shooting as an assassination attempt. – What has US President Joe Biden said? President Joe Biden was briefed on the incident and spoke to Mr Trump several hours after the shooting, the White House confirmed. He called the shooting “sick”, adding: “There’s no place in America for this type of violence.” – How have politicians in the UK reacted? Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said: “I am appalled by the shocking scenes at President Trump’s rally, and we send him and his family our best wishes. “Political violence in any form has no place in our societies and my thoughts are with all the victims of this attack.” Foreign Secretary David Lammy said the Government “condemns all forms of political violence in the strongest terms”. Former Conservative prime minister Boris Johnson said it is “a miracle that Donald Trump escaped an attempted assassination”. Writing on X, formerly Twitter, he added: “As we give thanks for his safety we are reminded once again of the tragic fragility of democracy in the face of violence and unreason. “Our thoughts are with the president and the Trump family.” Published: 14/07/2024 by Radio NewsHub

England hope to give fans special night with Euro 2024 win

Gareth Southgate and Harry Kane say they both know the importance of a win to the country England football manager Gareth Southgate and captain Harry Kane have said they hope to give the nation a “special” night as the Three Lions bid to win their first major competition in almost 60 years. Southgate and Kane both said they knew the importance of a win to the country, as the King, the Prince of Wales and the Prime Minister threw their support behind the team ahead of the Euro 2024 final against Spain in Berlin on Sunday evening. The men’s side have never won a European Championship, with the World Cup win in 1966 their last and only major silverware. Asked what it would mean to win a trophy, Southgate told England Football, the team’s official website: “We’d be bringing happiness to our nation, bringing credibility.” Speaking during a press conference on Saturday evening, he said: “We know what it would mean to everybody at home. “We know what it would mean to us as a squad, the hard work that’s gone in, not just this group of players, but players that have been with us for the last six or seven years who’ve played a massive part in this journey with us and all of the staff that have been involved. “It’s really been a huge team effort. All of those people have helped create the culture that we have, and we would love to give everybody a special night again tomorrow.” Kane told the press conference he is “extremely proud to be English”, saying a victory for his nation would mean “everything”. He said: “It would be the most incredible feeling as a professional footballer and I’m sure also for the fans to have that moment in history and to be able to celebrate that would be something very special.” The Prince of Wales, who will attend the match, said in a social media post on Saturday: “We are so proud of you all England, just one last push to finish the job! “Go out there and show the world what you’re made of. We believe. W.” William, who is president of the Football Association (FA), attended England’s quarter-final victory over Switzerland a week ago and the group stage game against Denmark, and was seen cheering in the stands. His father, the King, also commended the team after their 2-1 semi-final win over the Netherlands on Wednesday but quipped that they should avoid more last-minute drama. In a message to Southgate’s side, Charles sent the players the royal family’s “very best wishes” and “warmest congratulations”. He added: “If I may encourage you to secure victory before the need for any last minute wonder goals or another penalties drama, I am sure the stresses on the nation’s collective heart rate and blood pressure would be greatly alleviated! “Good luck, England.” Sir Keir Starmer suggested there would be some form of celebration if England wins. The Prime Minister, who is attending the match, has refused to commit to an extra bank holiday if the team secures victory, saying he did not want to “jinx anything” by pre-empting the result. In a good luck message, Sir Keir, writing to “Gareth and all the England team”, said: “You should all be proud of what you’ve achieved so far, and I hope you can take some strength from the millions at home kicking every ball alongside you. “You don’t need a running commentary from a politician on what you should or shouldn’t do. “You’re here not because of luck, but because of your graft and hard work. You’ve earned it. As you did three years ago, you’ve made the country proud. “Whatever happens, you should know that you have united the country, and we are all behind you. “So enjoy tonight. I know that up and down the country, we all will.” Conservative leader Rishi Sunak said: “Over the last few weeks, the team have brought us joy, drama and inspiration – and perhaps one too many nerve-wracking moments. “But they’ve kept their focus and have set an incredible example to millions of us in how they’ve conducted themselves both on and off the field. “Their progress so far is a huge achievement and we are all united in wanting Gareth and the team to triumph. “So I send my very best to the whole team – we are right behind you tonight and, whatever the result, I know you’ll do us all proud. Bring it home.” England fans have paid thousands of pounds, travelling by air, road and rail to Germany to be at the match. On Saturday afternoon, some of the supporters who had made the journey to Berlin were enjoying a drink in Breitscheidplatz, which was allocated as a meeting point. Alfie Bray, 21, a mechanical engineer from Birmingham, had flown from London to Frankfurt and got the train to Berlin. He and friend Callum Williams, 21, booked travel to the city as soon as the second goal was scored in the semi-final. Martin Rafferty, 44, from Birmingham, said he and friends had driven for 15 hours to reach the city despite not having tickets for the final. He said: “We’re going to go to the fanzone to watch it. “It could be a chance of making history tomorrow.” Tony Rudd, 37, made a journey of 26 hours to get to Berlin from his home in Darwin, Australia, costing about £4,500. He said: “I made a last-minute decision. I went ‘I’m going’.” Tommy Swift, 44, and nephew Michael Swift, 22, from Hartlepool, County Durham, said they travelled to Berlin on plane, train, tram, foot and scooter. Tommy Swift said they booked the travel three weeks ago because they had faith in the England team but had not got match tickets yet. He said he had a budget of up to £2,000 for the tickets, saying: “We know what we have to pay.” He added: “It might never happen again. I
