Gunfire appeared to erupt at former President Donald Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania while he was speaking on stage — and he was grazed in the ear, law enforcement said.
Several gunshots rang out just about five minutes into his speech shortly after 6 p.m., sending Trump to the ground as Secret Service agents jumped in to cover him
Trump appeared to grab his ear in the moments before he was taken to the floor by the Secret Service. He was heard asking for his shoes as the guards rushed him away.
Soldiers in military gear were seen rushing into the rally.
Nine shots could be heard in video of the incident, including three before Trump ducked.
Law enforcement sources said that he appeared to be grazed by a ricochet.
Members of the crowd could be heard screaming in panic as several pops could be heard.
Thousands had attended the campaign rally in Butler, where Trump was rumored to make an announcement about his Vice Presidential pick ahead of the Republican National Convention next week.
