Secret Service agents rushed former President Donald Trump off the stage after he “fell” to the ground amid loud bangs at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
After the bangs, Trump fell to the ground and was covered by Secret Service agents. He was stood back up by security personnel and had blood on his face. He was yelling back to the crowd and raising his fist before being was whisked away by security personnel.
Trump was then taken to a vehicle and evacuated from the scene. The incident took place moments after he took the stage at the rally.
“We heard a bunch of … loud cracking noises. At first I thought: Is that fireworks? All of a sudden everyone started screaming.”
Update: Trump is fine, supposedly.
The suspected gunman and 1 attendee is dead. A second spectator is in serious condition.
