Former President Donald Trump released a statement on Sunday morning in the wake of an assassination attempt on his life stating that God saved his life and calling on Americans to “stand united” and fight against evil.

“Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and prayers yesterday, as it was God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening,” Trump wrote. “We will FEAR NOT, but instead remain resilient in our Faith and Defiant in the face of Wickedness.”

“Our love goes out to the other victims and their families,” the former president added. At least one Trump supporter has been confirmed dead and two others have been injured. “We pray for the recovery of those who were wounded, and hold in our hearts the memory of the citizen who was so horribly killed.”

“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,” Trump added.

“I truly love our Country, and love you all, and look forward to speaking to our Great Nation this week from Wisconsin,” he added, referring to the upcoming Republican National Convention.

Trump said Saturday night that he heard a bullet zip by his right ear, which was pierced by a bullet. After Secret Service rushed in to surround Trump, the former president brushed them off, threw his fist in the air, and repeatedly shouted, “fight!” His supporters broke out in a “U-S-A” chant.

“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 released Saturday night. “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,” Trump 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!” he closed the post.
