WASHINGTON (The Texas Tribune) — U.S. Rep. Ronny Jackson, R-Amarillo, said Saturday night that his nephew’s neck was grazed by a bullet during a shooting at former President Donald Trump’s campaign event in Pennsylvania.

The congressman, who was not himself at the event, appeared on Fox News and Newsmax after the rally, describing how the events unfolded. Jackson, a former Trump White House physician, said his nephew was seated in a “friends and family” section behind Trump when shots were fired. He was later treated at a triage tent.

“He was grazed in the neck, a bullet crossed his neck, cut his neck and he was bleeding,” Jackson told Sean Hannity on Fox.

The Associated Press reported that one attendee as well as the suspected shooter were killed, and two other people were critically injured. It was not clear whether Jackson’s nephew was one of those critically injured. Jackson said his sister-in-law was also at the event.

The weapon is registered in the father's name, so I guess the kid just "borrowed" it for the day.

the info the FBI got on the rifle was probably from ATF Form 4473 which is filled out at time of purchase and near as I can tell, there was nothing illegal from his 20 yo son from having possession of it.

Everything the Candyman says is a lie.

Shame he spent all those years becoming a doctor and he ends a carnival barker.
