WASHINGTON — Former President Donald Trump said in a social media post he was"shot with a bullet" in the upper part of his earIn his first statement since what law enforcement officials said was an assassination attempt, Trump thanked law enforcement and extended his condolences to the family of those hurt in the shooting.
