Texas Rep. Ronny Jackson, who was former President Donald Trump’s White House doctor, revealed that his nephew was ‘grazed in the neck’ by a bullet at the Butler, Pennsylvania rally.
‘They heard the shots, and everybody dropped to the ground,’ Jackson told Sean Hannity on Fox News Saturday night. ‘And I don’t know if you guys have the picture or not, but he was grazed in the neck. A bullet crossed his neck, cut his neck, and he was bleeding.’
Jackson said he had helped get his sister-in-law and nephew into the ‘friends and family pen’ at the Saturday evening Trump rally, where they were seated in bleachers behind the president when the assassination attempt occurred.
The former White House doctor said his sister-in-law took his nephew to the first aid tent after the shooting and they encountered the Trump supporter who had been killed.
‘When they got to the triage tent while they were there, there was another member of the crowd, unfortunately that was in the triage tent that was on a gurney in the tent that had a devastating wound, had a critical wound to the head that was dead,’ Jackson said.

A Secret Service statement from Saturday said one rally attendee had been killed by the shooter, while two others were wounded.
Anna West, a 40-year-old artist from Pittsburgh, told DailyMail.com that another wounded Trump supporter received a life-flight from rally grounds.
The suspected shooter is dead.
Around 6:15 p.m. Saturday night shots were fired at the former president as he was delivering his rally speech.
‘I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear,’ he later recounted on Truth Social. ‘I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin.’
‘Much bleeding took place, so I realized then what was happening,’ the ex-president added.
