Trump may have a minor injury to his ear, but the stand-down/all clear has been given. archive
Former President Donald J. Trump was rushed off a stage by Secret Service agents at a rally in Butler, Pa., after several pops that sounded like gunshots.
Mr. Trump went to the ground and was immediately surrounded by agents, who then escorted him to a motorcade. The former president pumped his fist at the crowd as he was hustled off the stage.
When the pops began at 6:13 p.m., Mr. Trump appeared to grab his right ear, which appeared to be bleeding as he left the stage.
At first I figured he’d done another Jan. 6th, ‘They’re not here to hurt me’ and waived off that security, but news is talking to someone there who said the crowd DID get screened. There is talk now that the shooter may have been outside a fenced in area. The shooter supposedly climbed onto a low nearby rooftop.
