Former President Donald Trump was rushed off stage by Secret Service agents during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday after what sounded like gunshots were heard. Trump was seen with blood on his ear and the side of his head as he was escorted away. The incident occurred just minutes into his speech at 6:13 p.m., and Trump was quickly taken into his motorcade. The rally ended shortly thereafter, and there were reports of multiple shots being heard, with some accounts mentioning up to five shots. Snipers were also seen on the roof near the stage. Trump appeared to signal his well-being by raising a fist to the crowd before being evacuated.
