Former US President Donald Trump was rushed off stage on Saturday after gunshots were fired at his rally in Pennsylvania.
It was not immediately clear where the gunshots were fired from but video showed blood on the ear of the former president, and snipers on the roof near the stage where Trump was standing.
Before the gunshots, the former US president was delivering a speech, saying “then the worst president in the history of our country took over and look what happened to our country. Probably 20 million people… and that’s a little bit old that chart, that chart is couple of months old. If you really want to see something, take a look at…”
His security rushed to take him off the stage, but he was heard saying, “let me get my shoes,” raising his fist in the air.
Trump is seeking a return to the White House and running against President Joe Biden, who many fear is too old for a second term.
