Trump shot at during Pennsylvania rally, Newsone has gathered.

Newsone Nigeria reports that former United States President Donald Trump was rushed off the stage just minutes into his rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday, July 13, 2024, after loud noises that sounded like gunshots were heard.

According to two senior law enforcement officials briefed, this online news platform understands that the former US President is currently safe and is expected to survive. He had blood on the side of his head and his ear.

Trump was speaking when he reached for the side of his face as popping sounds rang out over the rally. He then crouched down as Secret Service agents rushed the stage and surrounded him. He was quickly escorted into a vehicle and walked off the stage with agents on all sides.

Journalists on the scene saw smoke and heard what they initially thought were fireworks at the Trump Pennsylvania Rally before everyone ducked and law enforcement encircled Trump. Screams from the audience rang out as the scene unfolded.

Speaking in a parking lot near the event side, a mother and son who were attending the rally told NBC News that people in the crowd were injured and carried away. People remained at the scene for 10 to 15 minutes after Trump was taken away, after which hey were then told it was an active crime scene and all attendees were escorted out.

A Secret Service spokesperson said in a statement posted to X that “the former President is safe.”

“This is now an active Secret Service investigation and further information will be released when available,” agency spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi posted.

Trump’s spokesperson Steven Cheung said that the former president “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,” Cheung said. “More details will follow.”

It is unclear if a suspect is in custody.
