Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas) revealed that his nephew was one of the rallygoers nicked by a would-be assassin’s bullet during a campaign event for former President Donald Trump in Pennsylvania on Saturday.

Jackson, who previously served as Trump’s physician and chief White House medical adviser during his administration, said he and family were gathered at the Butler Farm Show grounds to hear the former president speak — before shots began to ring out.

“They heard the shots, and everybody dropped to the ground,” he told Fox News’ Sean Hannity later that evening.

“A bullet crossed his neck, cut his neck, and he was bleeding,” Jackson added, pointing out that the friends and family pen where they were staged was “in the line of fire.”

The 45th president was nearly shot dead himself but revealed in a Truth Social post after visiting a Pittsburgh-area hospital that he “felt the bullet ripping through [his] skin,” and that it “pierced the upper part of my right ear.”

Another attendee was killed and two were critically injured in the shooting, US Secret Service later confirmed.

Jackson’s nephew was also attended to in a triage tent after the incident.

“Thankfully his injury was not serious and he is doing well. My family was sitting in the front, near where the President was speaking,” the congressman added in a statement later.
