Former President of the United States, Donald Trump has been discharged from hospital where he was rushed to after suffering an injury in what has been described as an attempted assassination by security officials.

The former president is said to be in stable condition after receiving medical treatment.

Trump was said to be the target of an assassination attempt Saturday at a Pennsylvania rally.

A barrage of gunfire set off panic, with Secret Service agents swarming the former president after a series of gunshots. He was quickly bundled off stage and into a waiting vehicle and has since returned home to New Jersey.

Reacting to the incident, Trump, in a statement said a bullet pierced the upper part of his ear during the incident, which took place while he was giving a speech on stage.

“I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, and shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin. Much bleeding took place, so I realised then what was happening,” he said in a post on his Truth Social platform.

“I want to thank The United States Secret Service, and all of law enforcement, for their rapid response.

“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.”
