Former President Donald Trump was swiftly taken off stage by Secret Service agents after apparent gunshots were fired at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

 

Footage shows Trump grimacing and raising a hand to his right ear before ducking as sharp cracks rang out. Agents quickly surrounded him and escorted him to a waiting vehicle. Trump raised a fist as he was bundled into the car.

 

 

 

Trump's campaign confirmed he was "fine" and being checked at a local medical facility. Spokesman Steven Cheung thanked law enforcement and first responders for their quick action during the incident.

 

The Secret Service confirmed Trump's safety and announced an ongoing investigation. They stated that further information would be released when available.

 

Trump was addressing supporters in the crucial swing state when multiple bangs were heard. Witnesses described seeing a suspicious person with a rifle on a nearby roof shortly before the shots. One witness, Greg, reported pointing out the armed individual to police.

 

Other witnesses reported hearing several shots and described chaotic scenes as Secret Service agents protected Trump. Jason, a rally attendee, noted the crowd quickly dropped to the ground for cover.

 

The White House confirmed President Biden received an initial briefing. Politicians from both parties condemned the violence. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro stated that violence against any political leader is unacceptable, while former Vice-President Mike Pence and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries expressed their support for Trump and gratitude for the swift law enforcement response.

Bet there will be more security at his rallies it’s going to be interesting when we find out who did it

Maybe they should hire the TSA.  But even with their sophistication there have been instances where weapons have gotten through.

Dreadful thing to have happened should be no room for violence glad it was not too serious and hopefully he will have recovered in time for his sentencing in September!

 

yeah, do you think that's how it will end?

or mass riots in the streets maybe?
