Former President Donald Trump was reportedly shot and injured shortly after the start of a rally in rural Pennsylvania, according to multiple sources. The Secret Service immediately surrounded Trump who fell to the stage following what sounded like four to five gunshots. Agents then quickly moved him into a nearby vehicle while federal agents and heavily armed SWAT personnel rushed to the scene.
Trump appeared to have blood on the right side of his face and ear as he was being moved to his vehicle, where he could be seen pumping his fist several times as agents evacuated him from the area. The incident occurred shortly after Trump criticized his successor, President Joe Biden, by referring to him as “the worst president in the history of our country.
Following the shooting, Trump’s campaign issued a statement acknowledging the incident and expressing gratitude for law enforcement and first responders who acted quickly during this “heinous act.” The statement also confirmed that the former president was being checked out at a local medical facility. Further details are expected to be released as the story develops.
