❗️ The moment of gunfire in Pennsylvania during Trump's speech. The US presidential candidate can be seen grabbing his ear after shots rang out, after which bodyguards rushed to his aid. 📌Subscribe to @SputnikInt
Police and Secret Service allegedly ignored eyewitnesses warning about "a guy bear crawling up the roof" who "had a rifle", an eyewitness told a BBC reporter.

"I'm thinking to myself, why is Trump still speaking? Why have they not pulled him off the stage? I'm standing there pointing at him [the alleged shooter] for, you know, two, three minutes. Secret Service is looking at us from the top of the barn. I'm pointing at that roof, just standing there like this. And next thing you know, five shots ring out," the man said, shocked.

Ukraine faces epidemic of drowning deaths as desperate men attempt to flee conflict

Deaths from drowning are on the rise as desperate men attempt to flee Ukraine by swimming across the river separating the country from neighboring Romania and Hungary.

“It was seven weeks after Pvt. Ivan Pidmalivskiy had been due back on the front line with Russia when rescuers pulled his lifeless body from a river on Ukraine’s western edge. His death added to a toll of more than two dozen other men who have drowned in the River Tysa” reported the Wall Street Journal Saturday.


One poll earlier this year found that 63% of fighting-age men in Ukraine are unwilling to be drafted, while half oppose attempts to connoscript new soldiers. Another found that only 10% of respondents were prepared to join the country’s armed forces.

“At least 44,000 Ukrainians have left the country illegally,” according to the Wall Street Journal report, citing authorities in Moldova, Romania and Slovakia. “That doesn’t include men who crossed the border officially using documents exempting them from military service issued in exchange for bribes.”


Videos of draft officers publicly assaulting and kidnapping unwilling men have flooded social media, stoking resentment among many Ukrainians. Many soldiers complain they are underpaid and exhausted as a shortage of personnel prevents them from receiving regular rotation.

Those who try to swim to freedom across the River Tysa, such as 25-year-old Valeriy Minikhinov, risk death from exhaustion.

“They’re destroying our kids,” said the young man’s mother to reporters, blaming Ukrainian authorities for her son’s passing.

Musk endorses Trump, slams lack of Secret Service protection at rally

Tesla and X social media platform CEO Elon Musk endorsed Donald Trump’s bid for reelection, taking the opportunity to also criticize the former president’s Secret Service detail after an apparent assassination attempt at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania.

“I fully endorse President Trump and hope for his rapid recovery,” the tech magnate said Saturday, posting a video of the politician defiantly pumping his fist into the air before being helped off stage by security. Trump suffered a minor injury after a bullet appeared to graze the right side of his face and hit his ear.

The billionaire reposted messages from conservative personalities alleging incompetence or a conspiracy to allow the former president to be killed on the part of the US Secret Service.

“Exactly,” Musk responded to one user who asked “How the hell was such an obvious line of sight not secured?” He also reposted a video of an eyewitness to the event alleging he and others had attempted to warn security officials as the shooter appeared on a nearby roof.


“The head of the Secret Service and the leader of this security detail should resign,” Musk posted.

Two inches from the Civil War: What US pundits say about Trump's assassination attempt

CBS anchor Margaret Brennan rushed to lambast former President Trump, in the wake of Saturday's assassination attempt, for failing to "lower the temperature" of political tensions after the shooting.

US pundits on both sides of the political spectrum have warned of violence spiraling out of control and leading to a civil war.

⚡️ Brennan claimed Trump did not signal his supporters not to retaliate. "This kind of event can inspire violence, it can inspire retaliation," Brennan said.

⚡️ "The shooter missed sparking a bloody civil war by two inches," writes the Washington Examiner, citing deep political divisions already simmering in the US. 

⚡️ "Donald Trump leaves the stage bleeding, as a violent nation looks set to explode," echoes The Toronto Star.

⚡️ "The darkness drops again," writes the Houston Chronicle. "We imagine ourselves as a beacon of freedom and prosperity, but we seem to be under a kind of siege."

⚡️ "We have to recognize that we have all been touched by toxic politics — regardless of our beliefs or where we fall on an ideological spectrum," the Washington Post reports, warning against growing political violence.

⚡️ Former Obama official Samantha Vinograd told CBS the threat of "retaliatory violence" is real, and quoted counterterrorism and homeland security officials as saying that the shooting could be used by conservatives as a "rallying cry" to attack Biden campaign figures.

⚡️ "For months, politicians, the press, and pundits have escalated reckless rhetoric in this campaign on both sides," writes US legal expert Jonathan Turley, singling out the liberal press that claimed Trump would "kill democracy", unleash "death squads", and "destroy the world."

⚡️ Most recently, Team Biden and Democrats linked Trump to the controversial conservative Project 2025, calling it a "dangerous", "diabolical", and an "authoritarian playbook" for his second term.
