BREAKING: Trump shot at, at PA rally.
Former President Donald Trump had blood on the side of his face Saturday afternoon after shots were fired at him during a political rally in Pennsylvania.
The sound of shots rang out as Trump appeared to grab around his neck area and he quickly dropped to the ground as he was instantly swarmed by Secret Service agents.
(I’ve read that the shooter was killed.)
After he got up, he raised his fist and signaled to the crowd to “fight” as the Secret Service rushed him off stage.
“An incident occurred the evening of July 13 at a Trump rally in Pennsylvania,” U.S. Secret Service said in a statement. “The Secret Service has implemented protective measures and the former President is safe. This is now an active Secret Service investigation and further information will be released when available.”

The Trump campaign said in a statement: “President Trump thanks law enforcement and first responders for their quick action during this heinous act.”
“He is fine and is being checked out at a local medical facility,” the statement continued. “More details will follow.”
There was an immediate and almost unanimous show of support for Trump on social media across the political spectrum, including by many Democrats.

Shooting at Trump rally is being investigated as assassination attempt, AP sources say.
A shooting at Donald Trump‘s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania is being investigated as an attempted assassination of the former president and presumptive Republican nominee, law enforcement officials say.
A shooter is dead and an attendee was killed. Trump’s campaign says he is “fine” after being whisked off the stage and is being checked out at a local medical facility.
Butler County District Attorney Richard Goldinger told CNN that in addition to the spectator who was killed, two other attendees were taken to a local hospital and in serious condition.
The shooter was not an attendee at the rally and was killed by U.S. Secret Service agents, the official said.
“The shooter is dead,” Goldinger said.
He said the shooter was outside the rally grounds, but he didn’t give additional information about where the shooter was.
Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., says he just spoke to his father on the phone and that “he is in great spirits.”
“He will never stop fighting to save America, no matter what the radical left throws at him,” he said of his father in a statement.
