Former President Donald Trump released a statement on Saturday after being shot at a political rally in Pennsylvania in what federal law enforcement officials are investigating as an assassination attempt.

“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,” Trump said in a statement posted to social media. “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.”

“Nothing is known at this time about the shooter, who is now dead,” he continued. “I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear. 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 realized then what was happening. GOD BLESS AMERICA!”

The U.S. Secret Service said in a statement that at least one rally attendee was killed and two more were seriously injured during the shooting.

The agency said that it killed the suspect who fired the shots at Trump.
