BUTLER, Pennsylvania, July 14 (Reuters) - Donald Trump was shot in the ear in an attempted assassination during a campaign rally on Saturday, an attack that will likely reshape this year?s presidential race while raising sharp questions about security provided to the Republican candidate.

In the moments after the shooting, Trump was swarmed and covered up by his security agents. He quickly emerged, his face streaked with blood, and pumped his fist in the air, mouthing the words "Fight! Fight! Fight!"

Had he not turned his head at the last moment, we would be talking about a very different story today.

That photograph is for sure one for the history books. An incredible image.

Very lucky. Sadly the same can't also be said for the audience member who lost their life.
