Donald Trump is said to be "fine" after surviving an assassination attempt.

The former US president has revealed a bullet pierced his right ear during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania last night.

He was forced to the ground before being ushered away by the Secret Service - while the gunman, who opened fire from a rooftop was shot dead.

He's been named by the FBI as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks - a Republican.

However, one audience member was killed and two other men were critically injured.

World leaders have been condemning the assassination attempt.

In a statement on social media, the Taoiseach says what we saw last night from Pennsylvania was frightening and wrong.

Simon Harris says it's a relief that former President Trump is safe, adding that 'our hearts' are with the innocent spectators killed and critically injured.
