US House Representative Ronny Jackson says his nephew was grazed in the neck at the campaign rally for former president Donald Trump on Saturday.

“They heard the shots, and everybody dropped to the ground,” Jackson, a Texas Republican, says on Fox News.

Jackson says his nephew “was grazed in the neck, a bullet crossed his neck, cut his neck and he was bleeding.”

Jackson’s nephew, who was not identified, was treated by medical personnel at the event, he adds.
