Gunshots rang out at a Donald Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday (July 13). The former president, who appeared to have blood on his ear and face, was immediately escorted from the stage by the Secret Service.

Trump, currently the Republican presidential candidate, is “fine and is being checked out at a local medical facility,” according to a statement obtained by The New York Times. Spokesman Steven Cheung did not provide the publication with any further information about whether he had been injured, but later on Saturday, Trump posted on his Truth Social account that he “was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear. 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 NYT reports one rally attendee and the suspected shooter were killed.

“I want to extend my condolences to the family of the person at the Rally who was killed,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, “and also to the family of another person that was badly injured.”

At the time of the shooting, Trump was photographed surrounded by Secret Service agents while raising his fist to the crowd before being rushed off to his motorcade.

The rally was being held on the grounds of the Butler Farm Show.

President Biden received a briefing about what happened at Saturday’s rally, and Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro says state police arrived on the scene to work with federal partners.

In a televised address, President Joe Biden said “everybody must condemn” the attack and that he is relieved Trump is “doing well.” The Associated Press reports Biden’s campaign is pausing all messaging to supporters and pulling television ads.

As news of the assassination attempt spread across social media, with Trump’s name trending on X (formerly Twitter), a number of music artists and public figures posted reactions. X’s Elon Musk posted his endorsement of Trump for president, and commented, “Last time America had a candidate this tough was Theodore Roosevelt.”

“Trump was shot!!!” John Rich, of Big & Rich alerted his followers, later adding, “They couldn’t beat him in a fair contest, so they tried to kill him. BUT THEY MISSED.”

“Praying for our country rn,” said country singer and American Idol alum Scotty McCreery.

Josh Turner wrote: “Thank God President Trump is okay. Thoughts and prayers go up for him and for the family of the attendee whose life was taken at today’s rally.”

“I know the vibes,” noted 50 cent, posting a clip of his track “Many Men (Wish Death)” from Get Rich or Die Tryin’. “We are all in trouble now!”

Kid Cudi noted that the incident was “upsetting,” and said, “This aint cool. I aint voting for him and dont support him but wishing death on someone aint it.”

M.I.A. said she was “looking for bullet proof sun hats just for America.”

Why People Can’t Stop Buying the Dyson Airwrap

What makes the Dyson Airwrap so popular? For starters, it’s been blowing up on social media for a few years now. The hashtag #DysonAirwrap has received over 2.3 billion views on TikTok, and #DysonAirwrapTutorials has racked up more than 500 million views.

Dyson’s Airwrap also landed on Billboard’s Shop 100 holiday gift list and if you check YouTube, you’ll find dozens of tutorial videos and reviews of this epic hair tool, and Reddit is filled with Airwrap threads.

At $600, the Airwrap feels more splurge-worthy than budget-friendly, but it also provides an all-in-one experience, thus cutting down on the number of hair tools that you may need to use, and potentially saving you money in the long run. If you’re considering gifting someone with a Dyson Airwrap, it’s easily one of the most useful (and sought-after) gifts that you’ll buy — even if the price feels a bit steep.

The Airwrap also comes with a bunch of attachments, including large barrels to curl and wave hair; brushes to control and shape; and the triple-threat Coanda smoothing dryer for drying, smoothing and keeping flyaways at bay.

Looking for a Dyson Airwrap dupe? The Shark Flexstyle will transform your hair from smooth to bouncy in one easy swap, for half the price of the Airwrap.

The Flexstyle has an interchangeable brush design (1.25-inch auto wrap curler, oval brush, paddle and styling concentrator), seven heat and airflow settings and Coanda technology, to deliver shiny, frizz-free results.

Glen Ballard became the 2,374^th recipient of a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame today (July 11) with a little help from the members of Wilson Phillips, whose self-titled 1990 debut album—produced by and co-written with Ballard—went on to sell 10 million copies worldwide and cemented the friendship between the producer and the trio. 

The love the “Hold On” performers still shared with Ballard, also well known for his work with acts like Alanis Morissette and Michael Jackson, was evident and the emotional high point of Ballard’s ceremony. 

Carnie Wilson who called Ballard “the most humble human being I’ve ever met” and the “fourth member” of Wilson Phillips, gave a little history lesson, taking the audience back to the trio and Ballard sitting in a his studio in Encino, Calif., “eating our chopped salads and pasta from Emilio’s five days a week for two years,” while they crafted the album. “You understood our need to sing harmony, our blend. We heard and spoke the same language.”

Her younger sister Wendy, who was only 16 when they entered the studio in 1987, called their years together “a blissful time we will always cherish,” as she talked about feeling safe under Ballard’s wing as he helped them develop their sound. 

But it was Chynna Phillips, who made the attendees understand just how vital a role Ballard played in their lives that stretched far beyond his musical tutelage and brought herself, Ballard and many in the audience to tears. 

“We were three girls who really needed a father figure,” she said, her voice cracking with emotion. Carnie and Wendy are, of course, the daughters of Beach Boy Brian Wilson, while Phillips’ father was The Mamas and the Papas’ John Phillips. All three have had, at times, complicated and fractured relationships with their fathers. “The three of us were desperate for a man in our lives who would speak into us, and who would nurture us and love us and show us that we mattered and had something to say and we had it in us… You reflected that in us and you really showed us that we could do what we wanted to do with our lives… It was a very personal, very influential, very moving time in our lives, transformative. And if it weren’t for you Glen, I don’t know where I would be today. I just love you with all my heart.” 

Phillips then shared one of her most personal memories of Ballard, reflecting his own father-daughter connection with his child Bannon, who died as an infant many years ago. “When I went to your house that you had built in the ocean Malibu area, the very top of your house, you had a wind directional. You told me you had put it there for Bannon and that you just wanted her always to be able to find you. I just want you to know her spirit is here today and always with you, and I love her and know that she is so proud of you too.”  

Ballard, whose two adult sons and many members of his extended family were in attendance, graciously gave credit to his many collaborators, which also include Annie Lennox, Barbra Streisand, Aerosmith and Dave Matthews Band,  for his success, but shared a valuable lesson he learned from working with Wilson Phillips.

“One of my greatest joys is being involved in artists from the beginning, from the downbeat as they say in music. When I met Wilson Phillips, they hadn’t made a record, and it was up to us to create the initial sound. Luminous, three-part harmony in an era of grunge music was a bold and unusual choice,” he said, which received a laugh from the audience. “Creatively courageous. But when we won the Tokyo Music Festival in 1990 and that week our record [“Hold On”] went No. 1 across the world. We realized that the counter program worked. And it’s a lesson that I’ve taken with me from that moment. Five years later, I met a young singer-songwriter, and we wrote 20 songs and they became Jagged Little Pill that was Alanis Morissette. We weren’t chasing the marketplace, we were chasing her muse. And it turned out well. And then five years after that, Katy Perry was knocking on my studio door and after we spent a year in Paris, well, you know the rest, it worked out very well.”

Ballard has also had a number of theatrical successes, including Back to the Future, which is running on Broadway and London’s West End. Tony winner Roger Bart, who plays Doc Brown in the Broadway version, also feted Ballard, praising his collaborative spirit.
