BUTLER, Pa. — Former president and presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump was rushed from the stage by Secret Service seconds after gunshots rang out and spectators began screaming. Trump had just begun speaking at a rally in Western Pennsylvania, the last one before the Republican National Convention begins Monday.
Blood could be seen on Trump’s right cheek and ear immediately after the gunshots. Trump issued a statement thanking the Secret Service and describing his injuries. The shooting is being investigated as an assassination attempt. It would be the first time a president or presidential candidate was the object of an attempt on their life since 1981.
The suspected shooter was killed by US Secret Service, according to sources. A spectator was killed, and at least two more were seriously wounded in the shooting.
