Republican pre-candidate and former US president, Donald Trump (2017-2021) was evacuated from the rally he was offering on Saturday afternoon in Butler, Pennsylvania, after shots were heard in place and he was reportedly wounded.
Butler County district attorney Richard A. Goldinger told AP that a shooter is dead and a rally attendee was killed.
Donald Trump’s campaign said in a statement that he was “fine” after being whisked off the stage at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania after apparent gunshots rang through the crowd.
A local media in Pennsylvania claimed that at least one person died after the alleged shooting of the former president. Secret Service sources say the former governor is safe and well, but the ABC channel in the town where the rally was held says one person died.
“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.”
Meanwhile, the Secret Services confirmed the former Head of State “is safe.”
The audience that attended the rally this Saturday has been evacuated in order and normally the majority of attendees obeyed the orders, but a group of about thirty exalted went furiously to the place where the journalists were to blame for what happened.
The presidential runner was seeing screaming “Fight, Fight, Fight” when the security team lifted him up after the assassination attempt.
In broadcast videos, blood appears on the ex-president’s right ear. Security agents hustled him off stage as he raised his fist to the crowd.
The current president Joe Biden have been informed by the US Secret Services on an ‘initial briefing’ on Trump’s rally incident.
