Former President Donald Trump was injured Saturday after a shooting at his campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
The incident took place moments after he took the stage at the rally. After loud bangs were heard, Trump fell to the ground and was covered by Secret Service agents.
He was stood back up by security personnel and had blood on his ear and face. He was yelling back to the crowd and then was whisked away from the scene by security personnel.
The Secret Service said in a statement that Trump was safe and being evaluated. Trump said in a Truth Social statement that he was hit by a bullet in the upper part of his right ear.
The shooter was killed by the Secret Service, the agency said. It also said one rally attendee is dead and two were critically injured.
A law enforcement source and a police officer at the scene told CNN the shooter was positioned on a building rooftop just outside the rally venue.
