"China is concerned about the shooting incident of former President Trump. President Xi Jinping has expressed sympathy for former President Trump," a Foreign Ministry spokesperson said in a statement, Anadolu Agency reported.
Trump was shot in the ear during a Saturday campaign rally, streaking the Republican presidential candidate’s blood across his face and prompting his security agents to swarm him.
The shooting is being investigated as a possible assassination attempt.
Hours after the incident, the FBI said it identified the shooter as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks of Pennsylvania, US media reported early on Sunday.
Crooks and one rally attendee were killed and two other spectators were injured.
