TERRIFYING scenes unfolded as Donald Trump appeared to be grazed by apparent gunfire at a rally.
While delivering a speech to voters in Pennsylvania, pops rang out from the crowd, catching the former president’s attention.
Trump appeared to wince in pain and grab at the side of his head before dropping to the floor.
More shots appeared to ring out as Secret Service swarmed Trump to shield him from any more oncoming projectiles.
Trump was lifted back to his feet and was seen with blood pouring down his face, but defiantly lifted a fist to show the crowd that he was okay.
His motorcade was later seen racing away from the scene to get Trump to safety.
The former president was rushed to the hospital by Secret Service. They released a statement regarding their protection of Trump after the apparent shooting.
“An incident occurred the evening of July 13 at a Trump rally in Pennsylvania. The Secret Service has implemented protective measures and the former President is safe,” the statement read.
“This is now an active Secret Service investigation and further information will be released when available.”
The Trump campaign also released a statement on the apparent shooting shortly after it occured.
“President Trump thanks law enforcement and first responders for their quick action during this heinous act,” spokesman Steven Cheung said.
“He is fine and is being checked out at a local medical facility. More details will follow.”
Republican leaders and other prominent political figures have been quick to condemn the actions taken against Trump today.
Pennsylvania governor Ben Shapiro said he was briefed about the incident and said, “Violence targeted at any political party or political leader is absolutely unacceptable.”
Israel’s president Netanyahu also spoke out about the situation, saying he is “shocked by the apparent attack on President Trump.”
“Praying for President Trump and everyone at the rally in Pennsylvania. May God watch over them all,” Senator Tim Scott posted on X.
“Karen and I are praying for President Trump and urge every American to join us,” former vice president Mike Pence wrote.
“Laura and I are grateful that President Trump is safe following the cowardly attack on his life,” former president George W. Bush said in a statement.
“And we commend the men and women of the Secret Service for their speedy response.”
While President Trump is okay, it is believed that one person died in the shooting.
The Butler County District Attorney stated he believes the person who died was a supporter in the crowd, according to the Washington Post.
