Donald Trump was seemingly shot at during a rally in Pensilvania today.
According to CBS The Secret Service says Trump is now safe, and his campaign says he is being checked at a local hospital.
Reporters heard numerous shots and Secret Service rushed the stage.
Video captured by CBS News shows Trump touching his ear and then crouching to the ground. Some blood could be seen on his face.
“Secret Service has implemented protective measures and the former President is safe,” Secret Service spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi said in a statement. “This is now an active Secret Service investigation and further information will be released when available.”
The Trump campaign said in a statement,
“President Trump thanks law enforcement and first responders for their quick action during this heinous act. He is fine and is being checked out at a local medical facility. More details will follow.”
There is no longer a threat, two law enforcement sources told CBS News. The suspect is believed to be either dead or in custody, but details are unclear. Secret Service agents did engage the suspect, the sources said.
