Former President Donald Trump announced Friday that he planned to hold another rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where he survived an assassination attempt earlier this month.
Almost directly after, the FBI released a statement confirming the Republican nominee had been hit by a bullet during the July 13 shooting.
‘What struck former President Trump in the ear was a bullet, whether whole or fragmented into smaller pieces, fired from the deceased subject’s rifle,’ an FBI statement said.
Trump made the rally announcement Friday afternoon on Truth Social.
‘I WILL BE GOING BACK TO BUTLER, PENNSYLVANIA, FOR A BIG AND BEAUTIFUL RALLY, HONORING THE SOUL OF OUR BELOVED FIREFIGHTING HERO, COREY, AND THOSE BRAVE PATRIOTS INJURED TWO WEEKS AGO,’ Trump wrote. ‘WHAT A DAY IT WILL BE — FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT!

He added, ‘STAY TUNED FOR DETAILS.’
Earlier he met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at Mar-a-Lago and was seen for the first time not sporting any kind of bandage on his right ear.
Trump paid tribute to slain firefighter Corey Comperatore during his 92-minute Republican National Convention speech last Thursday.
Comperatore firefighter’s jacket was displayed onstage and the Republican nominee walked over and kissed it amid his speech.
Trump also sported a large bandage throughout the four days of the convention in Milwaukee, which kicked off just two days after the failed assassination attempt.
He then wore a band-aid for several days.
It’s unclear when Trump will head back to the Pittsburgh region.
He’s headlining a rally Saturday in St. Cloud, Minnesota, alongside running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance on Saturday.
Trump announced a Wednesday rally in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, located in the center of the state.
The Republican nominee has been holding all of his campaign events indoors since the July 13 shooting.
