 He was taken to a nearby hospital and following his release issued a social media post saying he'd been shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of his right ear. He said he heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin. The shooter was shot and killed by Secret Service snipers from his location atop a shed outside the security perimeter but between 150 and 300 feet from the stage where the former president stood with dozens of supporters in stands behind him and beside him.
