Donald Trump was reportedly rushed off the stage of his Pennsylvania-set campaign event on Saturday (July 13) by Secret Service officials. After video footage of the incident showed the former president with a bloodied ear, he was swarmed by agents who escorted him into his vehicle, and he was taken away.
Secret Service spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi said in a statement shared to social media, “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. This is now an active Secret Service investigation and further information will be released when available.”
According to reports from congresspersons on the scene, shots were overheard during the assault, with Fox News’ Chad Pegram reporting, “From Rep. Dan Meuser (R-PA) who was in the front row at the rally near Trump with Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA) and Pennsylvania GOP Senate Candidate Dave McCormick at the rally. Meuser says he heard 8-10 shots. Says it appears mulitple people in the crowd may have been hit and were down. Says that it sounded like a .22 or a small caliber weapon.”
