Watch the moment reported shots were fired during Donald Trump's rally in Pennsylvania.


A bloodied Donald Trump has been whisked off stage at a rally in Pennsylvania after gunshots were fired in an apparent assassination attempt.

According to local media reports, the Butler County District Attorney has said two people are believed to be dead - one audience member and the suspected shooter.

Another person is reportedly in a serious condition.

The former President took to his social media platform to send "condolences to the family of the person at the Rally who was killed".

Donald Trump also recounted his experience: "I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear. I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin."

He quickly ducked as his security agents rushed the stage and screams rang out from the crowd. The bangs continued as agents tended to him on stage.

The crowd cheered as he got back up and pumped his fist. His agents dragged him away to chants of "USA, USA".

“President Trump thanks law enforcement and first responders for their quick action during this heinous act,” spokesman Steven Cheung said in a statement.

“He is fine and is being checked out at a local medical facility. More details will follow.”

The Secret Service said in a statement that “the former President is safe.”

Shouts of "all clear, shooter down" could be heard, shortly before the former president was bundled off stage.

Police began vacating the area shortly after Trump left the stage.

Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr, posted a photo on X of Trump, his fist raised and his face bloody in front of an American flag, with the words: “He’ll never stop fighting to Save America."
