Former President Donald Trump was injured and rushed off stage by the U.S. Secret Service on Saturday, July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania, after shots were fired.

Former President Donald J Trump, bleeding from his right ear, is rushed from the stage at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Trump Communications Director Steven Cheung says: “President Trump thanks law enforcement and first responders for their quick action during this heinous act. He is fine and is being checked out at a local medical facility. More details will follow.”

Trump, 78, pumped his fist several times as Secret Service agents rushed him off the platform. He was bleeding from his ear, which he grabbed immediately after videos of the scene recorded a series of popping sound.

The Secret Service shot and killed a suspected shooter, according to law enforcement officials.

Another person attending the rally was killed according the Butler County officials.

As Trump was ushered into his car, continuing to pump his fist, the crowd shouted “USA, USA.”

CNN, citing law enforcement sources, said the shooter is “no longer an immediate threat.”
