BUTLER, Pa.—An assailant fired several shots at former President Donald Trump during a rally on July 13, piercing the former president’s right ear, killing a man in the stands, and critically injuring two others.

The former president was airlifted to a nearby hospital and was in good health. His jet departed Pennsylvania minutes before midnight, according to a flight tracking website. A video later posted by one of his press aides shows the former president walking down the stairs to the tarmac in New Jersey.
