Former President Donald Trump Rushed Off Stage During Rally in Butler, Pennsylvania After Possible Shots Fired

Former President Donald Trump was rushed off stage by Secret Service agents during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, after possible shots were heard. The incident, which is being investigated as a possible assassination attempt, left one bystander confirmed dead and possibly a second as well.

Trump was seen with blood on his right ear as he was taken off stage, mouthing “fight” and pumping his fist. Despite the chaos, a spokesperson for Trump confirmed that he is fine and is being checked out at a local medical facility.

The shooter is dead, according to Butler County District Attorney Richard A. Goldinger, who also mentioned that live rounds were apparently fired from outside the security perimeter.

Witnesses at the rally, including U.S. Senate candidate Dave McCormick, reported hearing “seven or eight” shots fired, causing panic among attendees who dropped to the ground. Trump had just begun his speech when the disturbance occurred, prompting a swift response from security personnel.

Several political figures, including Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, took to social media to offer prayers for Trump and everyone at the rally. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio also joined in asking for prayers for those affected by the incident.

The Secret Service has launched an investigation into the matter, with assistance from the ATF and other law enforcement partners. The White House has been briefed on the situation and is monitoring the developments closely.
