"Incident at a Trump rally.

Visible blood on the former president's face."


 

BUTLER, PENNSYLVANIA – JULY 13:
Shortly after former President Donald Trump took the stage at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, at 6 p.m., several loud pops could be heard, and Trump was whisked off the stage.

Multiple reports suggested the noises were gunshots, and video from the incident appeared to show Trump reacting to something hitting his ear.
The event was to be his final campaign rally before he formally accepts the Republican Party’s 2024 presidential nomination at next week’s Republican National Convention.

“The Secret Service has implemented protective measures and the former President is safe. This is now an active Secret Service investigation and further information will be released when available,” Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi posted on social media.
Trump shot by some type of air pellet on stage. Escorted off stage by Secret Service detail while bleeding from side of his face. Awaiting more details. pic.twitter.com/12gvZxLPo1

Yeah, he grabs at his ear and looks down at his hand like something is on it. Im willing to bet he was grazed by a bullet
 
A former Trump campaign advisor says on CNN that someone he spoke to said it sounded like a small caliber weapon, and that at least two other people had been hit, including someone shot in the head.

It sounded like a 22 to me, which would be the easiest type of weapon to sneak in.

It’s tough to tell based on the location on the microphones though, so who knows.

Donald Trump’s campaign said in a statement that he was “fine” after being whisked off the stage at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania after apparent gunshots rang through the crowd.

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

I am wondering how someone was allowed near the presidential candidate with a gun??? I expect security to be tight at these events.

His agents had created a shield around him with their own bodies and had him covered completely as they were moving him off the stage. I am surprised he broke the shield of his agents to show his face.
Yes, that looked dangerous. His head was clearly visible. I didn't like the way he was removed from the stage.

By that point they had gotten word that the shooter was down. If you catch the whole thing, you’ll hear the agents communicating with one another courtesy of the podium microphone.
