 they missed him and he took off his coat and he had four bullet holes through his coat but he wasn't taken down washington wrote about that event it was the hand of providence that prevented him from dying he was just a young army colonel at the time but here's the interesting thing when i went back to read the story and i was reminded that event took place less than 50 miles from the from the spot where donald trump evaded a bullet as well i mean i don't know it's coincidence right but a very interesting event in history also in july also in pennsylvania
