There was chaos and panic at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania as shots were fired, resulting in Donald Trump being rushed off stage.
The leading Republican presidential contender dropped to the ground with blood on the side of his face, while a male attacker was killed. Trump’s campaign team has assured the public that his condition is ‘fine’.
According to a witness at the rally who spoke to BBC, the sound of gunshots caused people to panic, with some mistaking it for firecrackers initially.
As Trump was escorted off stage, he appeared to raise a fist into the air, signaling his safety amidst the chaos.
Witnesses recounted the terrifying experience of hearing the gunfire and seeing smoke, prompting them to take cover or run from the scene.
“It was just so surreal. I’ve never heard anything like that in my life,” one witness described the harrowing moment.
