Former President Donald Trump was injured in a shooting incident at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on Saturday. According to multiple reports, Trump was rushed off the stage by Secret Service agents after apparent gunshots rang out in the crowd.
In a statement following the incident, Trump said “I was shot in the ear” during the rally. Eyewitness accounts and video footage show Trump being quickly escorted off the stage as security personnel swarmed the area.
The shooting resulted in the death of one rally attendee, with two others reported to be in critical condition. The suspected shooter was killed at the scene, though the details surrounding the incident are still under investigation by the FBI, Secret Service, and ATF.
This marks a concerning development in the 2024 presidential campaign, as Trump seeks the Republican nomination for a third time. The former president’s injuries, while not life-threatening according to reports, underscore the heightened security concerns and potential for violence surrounding high-profile political events.
