Former President Trump appeared to have been wounded when shots rang out at a Pennsylvania rally Saturday.
Trump was at a podium outdoors in Butler, Pennsylvania, when — minutes into the event — several popping noises were heard. Trump grabbed one ear, then was tackled and shielded by Secret Service agents. Both the Secret Service and Trump’s campaign confirmed he was safe.
According to the Butler County DA, as reported by The Washington Post, two people were dead — a bystander and an apparent shooter.
The shooter fired as many as eight rounds from an AR-style rifle while perched on a rooftop adjacent to the venue and was 200-300 yards away at the time of the shooting, law enforcement sources told.
One spectator was killed and two others critically injured, the Secret Service said in a statement.
