Former President Donald Trump was shot by a gunman Saturday evening while speaking on stage at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, 33 miles north of Pittsburgh, authorities said. The pops of a gun could be heard as Trump ducked to the floor of the stage and Secret Service rushed to cover him.
“President Trump thanks law enforcement and first responders for their quick action during this heinous act,” Steven Cheung, a Trump spokesperson, said in a statement after the shooting. “He is fine and is being checked out at a local medical facility.”
