In Pictures: Trump Injured in Shooting at Pennsylvania Rally
Former President Donald Trump was injured Saturday after a shooting at his campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
The incident took place moments after he took the stage at the rally. After loud bangs were heard, Trump fell to the ground and was covered by Secret Service agents. He was stood back up by security personnel and had blood on his ear and face. He was yelling back to the crowd and then was whisked away from the scene by security personnel.
The Secret Service says Trump is safe and under protective measures. Spokesperson Steven Cheung said Trump is “fine” and referred to the incident as a “heinous act.”
The shooter was killed by the Secret Service, and a rally attendee was also killed, according to a Secret Service source. Butler County District Attorney Richard Goldinger said a second spectator is in serious condition.
