The Secret Service says the Republican candidate, who appeared to have minor injuries, is safe.
BUTLER, Pennsylvania - Multiple shots rang out at Donald Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday, with the Republican presidential candidate grimacing and raising his right hand to his right ear as shots rang out, video footage showed.
The US Secret Service said he is safe and protective measures have been implemented around him. “This is now an active Secret Service investigation and further information will be released when available,” the Secret Service said in a post on X. The former president ducked quickly after the noises began, with the sound coming from the bleachers to the left of where he was standing at a lectern. The noises came in two groups, and smoke rose from that section of the bleachers.
After he departed, a group of officials wearing camouflage escorted someone off a set of bleachers to the left of the podium where Trump was speaking. Police officials began cordoning off the area with crime-scene tape as the rally’s attendees began clearing out, and blood was visible on the bleachers.
In a post on X, shortly after the incident, House Republicans urged Americans to “Pray for President Donald J. Trump”. Those who attend Trump’s campaign rallies are subject to security screenings. They are required to enter through metal detectors, and their bags and possessions are searched for weapons and a large number of banned items.
