Donald Trump appeared to be the target of an assassination attempt as he spoke during a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday.
The former president, his ear covered in blood from what he said was a gunshot, was quickly pulled away by Secret Service agents and his campaign said he was “fine.”
A local prosecutor said the suspected gunman, identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, and at least one attendee are dead. The Secret Service said two spectators were critically injured.
This collection of photos shows the aftermath of a shooting at former Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday.
