(7-13-24) Former President Donald Trump was taken off the stage at a rally in Butler, Pa., Saturday after what sounded like multiple shots were fired.

The gunman was shot dead at the rally, the Butler County district attorney confirmed to the Associated Press. A witness told the BBC agents ‘blew the guy’s head off.’

The DA added that an attendee was also killed at the rally, which was being held in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday afternoon. 

Early reports indicate that around eight to 10 shots were fired, and the press pool said ‘residual bangs’ were heard after Trump hit the floor. 

Trump’s campaign said he was taken to hospital following the incident, but said he is ‘fine’, and ‘thanks law enforcement and first responders for their quick action during this heinous act.’
