Trump was quickly taken off stage in PA due to what seemed like gunshots in the audience.

In the city of Butler, Pennsylvania, during one of his rallies, former President Donald Trump was suddenly taken off the stage after gunshots were heard in the crowd. However, his campaign quickly reassured the public that he was unharmed.

A statement from Trump's spokesperson, Steven Cheung, expressed the president's gratitude towards law enforcement and first responders for their swift response to the situation. Cheung also stated that Trump was being checked at a nearby medical facility and assured that more updates would follow.

Meanwhile, the Secret Service, responsible for the safety of former presidents, also confirmed that Trump was safe. The incident occurred as Trump was displaying a chart of border crossing numbers, during what would be his final rally before the Republican National Convention.

The sudden loud noises caused Trump to reach for his neck and take cover behind the stage's riser. The protective agents immediately rushed to the stage, while screams erupted from the thousands of people in attendance. Despite the chaos, the crowd erupted in cheers as Trump got back on his feet and raised his fist in triumph.

After the motorcade left the venue, Trump's current condition was unknown. Police began clearing the fairgrounds, treating the area as a crime scene. President Joe Biden was also briefed on the situation by the White House.

Trump's eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., posted a photo on social media of his father with a bloody face, raising his fist in front of an American flag. He captioned it with a message of Trump's unwavering determination to "Save America." House Speaker Mike Johnson also expressed his support and prayers for Trump on social media.

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, a Democrat, released a statement condemning any form of violence towards political parties or leaders. He also assured the public that Pennsylvania state police were present at the rally site.
