One reportedly dead at Trump rally as bleeding former president is rushed off stage amid shooting

While delivering a speech, Trump appeared to stumble and fall, prompting armed security to surround him for approximately a minute.

After rising to his feet and gesturing triumphantly, Trump was escorted to safety and transported away from the venue. Video footage indicated blood on his ear and showed him clutching his head as he fell.

Footage shows of Trump’s motorcade making a swift departure from Butler, the Pennsylvania town where he was speaking today.

Republican Senator J.D. Vance expressed concern on social media, urging prayers for Trump and everyone at the rally. The US Secret Service confirmed that Trump was now secure and that protective measures were in place.

They announced an ongoing investigation into the incident but did not disclose further details.

In response to inquiries, Trump’s campaign assured the public of his well-being, stating that he was “fine” and thanking law enforcement and first responders for their prompt action.
