In a shocking turn of events, former US President Donald Trump was forced offstage during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania after a shooting occurred. The chaotic scene left two people dead, including the suspected shooter. The incident is currently being investigated as an attempted assassination of the former president and presumptive Republican nominee.
As details continue to emerge, here is what we know so far. Trump was addressing a crowd of approximately 50,000 people, showcasing a chart of border crossing numbers, when the shots rang out at around 6:10 pm on Saturday. The sound of popping could be heard, causing Trump to put his hand up to his ear and crouch down as the audience behind him reacted with shock.
As the situation unfolded, the former president's security team quickly sprang into action, tackling Trump to the ground and using their bodies to shield him from any potential harm. Meanwhile, other agents took up positions on stage to assess the threat and ensure the safety of the crowd. Amidst the chaos, screams could be heard from the thousands of attendees.
Following the commotion, a video captured the aftermath as agents confirmed that the shooter had been taken down. Trump could be seen getting to his feet and reaching for his face, where blood could be seen. Despite the frightening ordeal, he pumped his fist in the air and mouthed the word "Fight" to his supporters, prompting cheers and chants of "USA. USA. USA."
As his motorcade departed the scene, Trump made a triumphant return to the stage, pumping his fist once again to the delight of the crowd. His condition at the time was unclear, with blood appearing to come from his ear. However, a few hours later, he took to his Truth Social account to reveal that he had been shot in the upper part of his right ear and was bleeding heavily. He expressed his gratitude to the Secret Service and law enforcement for their swift response and extended his condolences to the families of the victims.
The identity of the shooter is still unknown, and details about the incident are still emerging. However, it has been confirmed that the suspect was not a rally attendee and was killed by Secret Service agents. Butler County District Attorney Richard Goldinger stated that the shooter was located outside of the rally grounds, and the method in which he got there is still under investigation.
Tragically, one rally attendee lost their life in the shooting, and another was severely injured and taken to a nearby hospital. The suspect's death and the casualties among attendees are a devastating blow, and the situation is still developing. We will continue to provide updates as more information becomes available.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to all those affected by this senseless act of violence. We must come together as a nation to condemn such acts and stand united in the face of adversity. This is a developing story, and we will provide more updates as they become available. Stay tuned.
