Following the attempt to assassiante Donald Trump's over this weekend at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania, celebrities have been reacting to the shooting on social media.
The former president and presumptive GOP presidential nominee said he was hit in the ear by a bullet, in what the FBI have confirmed they are treating as an "assassination attempt." One rally attendee was killed, as was the suspected shooter, whom the FBI identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks.
The following day, Trump thanked the nation for its concern and called on Americans to unite. Later the same day, he said he would travel to Milwaukee for the Republican National Convention.6.2M
Elon Musk shared a video of the shooting and wrote: "I fully endorse President Trump and hope for his rapid recovery."
Several high profile figures in the entertainment world also shared their reactions to the news, with rapper 50 Cent posting a clip of his song 'Many Men (Wish Death)' along with a photograph of Trump standing with his fist in the air and blood splattered across his face. "I know the vibes," the rapper wrote. "We are all in trouble now!"
A subsequent post on X saw him post a retooled version of the cover of his 2003 debut album 'Get Rich Or Die Tryin', with Trump's face superimposed on his.
Rapper Soulja Boy reposted the video of the shooting, writing: "Ain't no way they just shot at trump [mind-blown emoji]."
"How do you miss all those shots fired?" asked rapper M.I.A.
"Would be funny if this was one of those transformative near death experiences and he became super woke."
"Strong hunch the Trump shooter will turn out to be a time traveller," posted comedian Frankie Boyle.
