The former president was escorted into his motorcade at his rally in Butler, Pa., a rural town about an hour north of Pittsburgh.

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.

    MLK Jr. got shot. Anyone who makes a lot of enemies is more likely to have this happen. Trump certainly made a lot of them.

    And while I’d love for them to take gun control seriously, it’s more likely they’ll argue that everyone at the rally having a gun would have prevented it somehow.
