Reactions are pouring in from East Texas elected officials in support of former President Donald Trump, who was whisked off the stage at a rally after a reported shooting on Saturday.

Trump says he felt bullet ‘ripping through the skin’ in possible assassination attempt

Former President Trump was holding a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday ahead of the upcoming Republican National Convention when shots rang out. According to the Associated Press, a reported gunman and at least one other person are dead.

Photos show former President Trump with blood on his face and ear as he was being led off the stage. Trump is reportedly safe and the U.S. Secret Service is investigating, according to a Secret Service statement.

Several East Texas Representatives and other officials have come out with the following statements of support in wake of the shooting:

“Praying for President Trump, his family, and our country after this horrific act. May God be with President Trump and with our nation,” Congressman Nathaniel Moran of Tyler said.

State Senator Bryan Hughes, who represents Mineola, asked for the public to pray for Trump after what he called a failed assassination attempt.

“Today at a rally in Pennsylvania, there was a failed assassination attempt on President Trump. Please pray for President Trump and all those who may have been injured,” said Hughes.

“Our country came an inch from civil unrest. God help us,” said Texas State Representative Matt Schaefer of Tyler.

“If you wish harm to any American President then you hate America and everything she stands for. Our country is in shambles. Total chaos will be the result of such an evil act. We are witnessing a major event that will trigger a very large movement in this country and it’s going to be a horrible event for everyone,” said Trinity County Sheriff Woody Wallace.

“Pray for President Trump,” said Texas State Rep. for Mt. Pleasant and Lindale, Cole Hefner.

“Pray for President Trump. Pray for America,” said U.S Congressman for Mineola, Athens and Terrell, Lance Gooden said.

“This is horrific & wrong & evil. Thank God he appears not to be seriously injured. Heidi & I are lifting President Trump up in prayer right now,” said U.S. Senator for Texas, Ted Cruz.

“They try to jail him. They try to kill him. It will not work. He is indomitable,” said Texas Governor Greg Abbott.
