Former President Donald Trump on Saturday had blood on the side of his head and his ear when he was rushed off the stage just minutes into his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania after loud sounds were heard.

New Telegraph had earlier reported that Trump was speaking when he reached for the side of his face as popping sounds rang out over the rally.

He then crouched down as Secret Service agents rushed the stage and surrounded him. Screams from the audience rang out as the scene unfolded.

Live microphones picked up the Secret Service agents’ comments as they moved the former president to safety: “Shooter is down!” “Are you ready? On you! Move! We’re clear!”

Trump’s campaign said in a statement that he was “fine” after being whisked off the stage after apparent gunshots rang through the crowd.

“President Trump thanks law enforcement and first responders for their quick action during this heinous act,” spokesman Steven Cheung said in a statement.

“He is fine and is being checked out at a local medical facility. More details will follow.”

President Joe Biden, who is in Delaware for the weekend, has been briefed on the situation, according to a senior White House official
