Pennsylvania – Law enforcement officers swiftly neutralized a shooter at a rally for former President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, following an apparent assassination attempt. The incident unfolded amid Trump’s speech, causing a chaotic scene as Secret Service agents rushed to protect the former president.
Video footage from the event shows the critical moment when law enforcement officers evacuated the shooter from the scene. According to initial reports, the suspect is believed to be dead.
Earlier, Trump had been addressing his supporters when multiple bangs, presumed to be gunshots, interrupted the rally. Secret Service agents quickly surrounded Trump and escorted him off stage to a waiting vehicle. Trump’s campaign later confirmed that he was unharmed and being checked at a local medical facility.
"President Trump thanks law enforcement and first responders for their quick action during this heinous act," said campaign spokesman Steven Cheung in a statement. The former president, who appeared to have blood on his right ear, raised a fist in a show of defiance as he was bundled off stage.
Armed police took control of the stage shortly after the incident. The Secret Service released a statement confirming that Trump was safe and that measures for his protection had been implemented. They added that an active investigation was underway, with more details to be shared as they become available.
Witnesses at the rally described the terrifying moments following the apparent shots. "We saw the Secret Service jump on Trump to protect him. Everyone in the crowd dropped down very quickly," said Jason, a rally attendee. Another witness, Tim, recounted, "There was a spray which we initially thought was a fire hose, and then the speaker on the right-hand side started coming down. Something must have hit the hydraulic lines, causing it to fall. We saw President Trump go to the ground, and everyone started dropping to the ground because it was chaos."

The White House confirmed that President Joe Biden, who was in his home state of Delaware at the time, had received an initial briefing on the incident. Politicians from both sides of the aisle quickly condemned the attack.
Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, a Democrat, stated, "Violence targeted at any political party or political leader is absolutely unacceptable."
Former Vice-President Mike Pence expressed that he and his wife were praying for Trump, urging "every American to join us." House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries added, "My thoughts and prayers are with former President Trump. I am thankful for the decisive law enforcement response. America is a democracy. Political violence of any kind is never acceptable."
As the investigation continues, authorities are working diligently to uncover the motives behind the attack and ensure the safety of all political events in the future. Further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
