Shots were fired during Donald Trump’s MAGA rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, prompting Secret Service agents to rush the former president away from the podium and offsite as he was seen bleeding from his ear.
Ten minutes into his speech, Trump was speaking about his America First plan when what sounded like six or seven shots rang out, at which point Trump quickly behind the podium and dozens of people in the crowd were seen taking to the ground.
Pray for President Trump.
Oh my god.
Oh my god.
Pray so hard for President Trump.

Trump appears to have been hit in the ear, and he was seen pumping his fist to the crowd while shouting “Fight! Fight! Fight!” as Secret Service flanked him before rushing him offstage.

Trump also released this statement on Truth Social:
I want to thank The United States Secret Service, and all of Law Enforcement, for their rapid response on the shooting that just took place in Butler, Pennsylvania. Most importantly, I want to extend my condolences to the family of the person at the Rally who was killed, and also to the family of another person that was badly injured. It is incredible that such an act can take place in our Country. Nothing is known at this time about the shooter, who is now dead. I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear. I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin. Much bleeding took place, so I realized then what was happening. GOD BLESS AMERICA!
The county prosecutor reportedly said two people were killed at the rally, including the suspected shooter.

This earth-shaking development comes just days after Trump confidante Roger Stone warned that the Deep State has been backed into a corner and could attempt their last card to stop President Trump — assassination.
True to form, fake news CNN’s headline in the wake of the attempted assassination against Trump reads, “Secret Service rushes Trump off stage after he falls at rally.”
