Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX), who prior to his election to the House of Representatives served as White House physician for both Barack Obama and Donald Trump, stated that his nephew was shot and wounded in the assassination attempt on Donald Trump during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on Saturday. Jackson's nephew was grazed in the neck by a bullet from the would-be assassin’s gun.

My nephew was injured at the Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Thankfully his injury was not serious and he is doing well. My family was sitting in the front, near where the President was speaking. They heard shots ringing out — my nephew then realized he had blood on his neck and something had grazed and cut his neck. He was treated by the providers in the medical tent. Thank you to all those that have reached out to check on him.

Please join my family and me in praying for all who were injured and the life lost.

The President and the survivors are lucky to be alive.

Jackson elaborated on the incident in an interview with Sean Hannity. (Comments are edited for clarity.)

My nephew was at the event. He was in the “friends and family” (area). They heard the shots, and everybody dropped to the ground. He was grazed in the neck and was bleeding. My sister-in-law encouraged him to go to the first aid tent.

There was someone four or five rows behind them who was critically injured. He was in the tent with my nephew. Unfortunately, the man was dead.

Jackson commented on Trump’s wound:

That is as close as it gets to dying. It’s (a matter of) millimeters. If he (Trump) would have turned his head, the bullet would have crossed his brain.

Jackson added:

I know his Secret Service detail. They are the best out there. I have questions about their leadership, but not his detail.
