Trump Rushed Off Stage After Loud Bangs at Pennsylvania Rally

Former President Donald Trump was swiftly escorted off stage by Secret Service agents after loud noises rang out during a rally in Pennsylvania. Footage captured Trump grimacing, raising a hand to his ear, and ducking as sharp sounds, seemingly gunshots, were heard.

Secret Service agents quickly surrounded Trump and rushed him to a waiting vehicle. He appeared to have blood on his right ear and raised a fist as he was led away. Armed police soon took to the podium.

In a statement, the Secret Service confirmed that Trump was safe and that protective measures had been enacted. An active investigation is now underway, and further details will be released as they become available.

The incident occurred while Trump was addressing supporters in Butler, Pennsylvania, a crucial swing state for the upcoming November election. The loud bangs interrupted Trump’s speech as he criticized President Joe Biden and his administration. Several supporters holding placards behind Trump also ducked at the sounds.

President Biden, when asked about the incident, stated that he had not yet been briefed on the events as he left a church in Delaware.
