His security rushed him off the stage, but the former US president paused to pump his fist defiantly in the air.

He said on Monday as he boarded a flight to the Republican National Convention (RNC) in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, “The most incredible thing was that I happened to not only turn [my head] but to turn at the exact right time and in just the right amount.”

A spectator was killed in the attack, while two other people were seriously injured.

The US secret service said its operatives shot and killed 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, the suspected gunman.
