Former President of the United States, Donald Trump was rushed off stage during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania after loud bangs were heard
Trump, the leading Republican presidential contender, dropped to the ground and was seen with what appeared to be blood on the side of his face
He appeared to raise a fist into the air as he was escorted off stage
Trump’s condition is reportedly ‘fine’ according to his campaign.
The suspect in the incident at Trump’s rally is dead, along with an audience member, local district attorney Richard Goldinger has told the Associated Press and local media.
CBS also reports that secret service agents “engaged” the suspect.
One witness, Greg, told reporters he was outside the rally and could only hear the former president talking, when he noticed a man on top of a roof.
“We noticed the guy crawling up the roof of the building beside us, 50 feet away from us,” Greg said. “He had a rifle, we could clearly see him with a rifle.”
Greg said they pointed the man out to police.
“Next thing you know, I’m thinking to myself why is Trump still speaking? Why have they not pulled him off the stage?” he said. “I’m standing there pointing at him… the next thing you know, five shots ring out.”
