Former President Donald Trump was rushed off stage in Pennsylvania after gunshots rang out at him, injuring his ear.
Trump’s ear was bleeding as he was escorted off-stage by the Secret Service. The gunman and a rally attendee were reportedly killed in the incident, police said. The incident is now under investigation as an attempted assassination.
The former president had been showing a chart of figures on border crossings on screens above the stage when the shots were fired from outside a Secret Service perimeter. Trump was quick to duck after the shots began, but grabbed toward his head first.
