Natt til søndag norsk tid ble tidligere president Donald Trump truffet av en kule i øret under et valgkamparrangement i Butler, Pennsylvania.
Med blod på kinnet, og med knyttet neve, sa Trump «fight, fight, fight!» i det han raskt ble bragt i sikkerhet av Secret Service agenter.
Nettavisens Henrik Heldahl og undertegnede tok opp en nødpodkast halv fem søndag morgen, med det vi vet så langt:
Utrolige bilder fra attentatforsøket:

President Joe Biden kom i natt med en uttalelse sendt direkte på TV fra Rehoboth Beach i Delaware. Det hvite hus publiserte følgende kort tid etter attentatforsøket:
I have been briefed on the shooting at Donald Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania.
I’m grateful to hear that he’s safe and doing well. I’m praying for him and his family and for all those who were at the rally, as we await further information.
Jill and I are grateful to the Secret…

Tidligere president Barack Obama:
There is absolutely no place for political violence in our democracy. Although we don’t yet know exactly what happened, we should all be relieved that former President Trump wasn’t seriously hurt, and use this moment to recommit ourselves to civility and respect in our politics.…
