Former United States (U.S.) President Donald Trump was shot in the ear at a campaign rally on Saturday, in the latest assassination attempt on a politician in U.S. history.
Four U.S. Presidents were killed while in office.
Abraham Lincoln: He was killed by John Wilkes Booth at Ford’s Theatre in Washington in 1865.
James Garfield: He was shot at a train station in Washington in 1881 and succumbed to his wounds two and a half months later.
William McKinley: He was killed by an anarchist in Buffalo in 1901.
John F. Kennedy: Lee Harvey Oswald killed Kennedy in 1963 in Dallas while the president was riding in a motorcade.
Leaders who survived
Some presidents survived assassination attempts while in office or after their term ended.
Donald Trump: Trump had just begun speaking at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday when an attacker shot him, grazing his ear with a bullet. Security officials hurriedly carried him to a black SUV.
Ronald Reagan: He was shot in 1981 outside the Hilton Hotel in Washington but survived the attack. A bullet ricocheted off the limousine and hit Reagan under his left armpit.
Gerald Ford: He survived two assassination attempts in less than three weeks in 1975, escaping uninjured.
Theodore Roosevelt: He was wounded in the chest in 1912 while campaigning for the election in Milwaukee.
