Former president Donald Trump was escorted away from a campaign rally in Butler, Pa., about 30 miles north of Pittsburgh, after loud noises were heard at the rally.
Former president Donald Trump “is fine” and being evaluated at a local medical facility, his campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said.
“President Trump thanks law enforcement and first responders for their quick action during this heinous act. He is fine and is being checked out at a local medical facility. More details will follow,” Cheung said in a statement.
Former Pennsylvania congressman Dan Meuser reported hearing “eight to ten gunshots” ring out as he sat front row at former President Donald Trump’s campaign rally in Butler, PA Saturday, and that “multiple people in the crowd may have been hit and were down.”
During live coverage the rally quickly descended into chaos as the crowd scrambled for cover and Secret Service agents moved swiftly to protect Trump.
According to Fox News chief senior congressional correspondent Chad Pergram, Meuser said it sounded like a .22 or a small caliber weapon.
Meuser was sat beside Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA) and Pennsylvania GOP Senate candidate Dave McCormick at the rally.
