Trump became the second former US president and presidential candidate to be shot.

In 1912, Theodore Roosevelt was shot just before a campaign event, but he talked to his supporters for about an hour and a half. In 1916, a knife was thrown at him from the crowd, but the former president was not injured.

Here are some failed attempts on the lives of sitting US presidents:

🇺🇸Andrew Jackson was shot in 1835. However, when the assailant's gun jammed, the president responded to the assailant with his cane;

🇺🇸In 1975, Gerald Ford was shot twice;

🇺🇸In 1981, Ronald Reagan was shot 6 times, he was dangerously wounded, but survived;

🇺🇸In 2005, in Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia, a grenade was thrown at George Bush, but it did not explode.

Four US presidents were assassinated as a result of assassination attempts:

🇺🇸Abraham Lincoln was mortally wounded in 1865, and James Garfield was mortally wounded in 1881.

🇺🇸William McKinley was assassinated in 1901, and John F. Kennedy in 1963.
