Auburn men’s basketball coach Bruce Pearl shares with OutKick’s “Don’t @ Me with Dan Dakich” his reaction to the recent assassination attempt against former President Trump.
Auburn men’s basketball head coach Bruce Pearl couldn’t believe what happened on Saturday.
Over the weekend, former President Trump was grazed on the ear by a bullet fired during a failed assassination attempt at his political rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
One person was killed and two others were injured when Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, who was later identified as the shooter, opened fire less than 10 minutes after Trump began speaking.
Pearl, 64, like many others, was stunned by the shooting. He recalled his initial reaction during an appearance on OutKick’s “Don’t @ Me with Dan Dakich” on Thursday.
“My first reaction was: How was this possibly happening? Is it real? When he got up pretty quickly, I prayed, I immediately asked God to watch over him, and praying for him in that particular moment.
