Former President Donald Trump had just begun speaking at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, today when a gunman or gunmen opened fire and hit him in the ear.

As Secret Service agents swarmed and tackled Trump and rushed him off the stage, the 78-year-old raised a defiant first to the crowd and said “Fight!” He was quickly flown by helicopter to a hospital.

Video shows Trump speaking then grabbing his ear after two pops. After he ducked, the gunfire continued.

Sky News reported that one person is dead.

The New York Times reported the the following in a series of lives updates:

A spokesman for the Secret Service, Anthony Guglielmi, said in a statement that Trump “is safe” after “an incident occurred” at his rally in Pennsylvania. He did not provide further details.

Steven Cheung, a Trump spokesman, said former President Donald J. Trump is “fine and is being checked out at a local medical facility.” He added that Trump “thanks law enforcement and first responders for their quick action during this heinous act.”

Sky News reported that Trump shouted “fight” as we led from the stage.

“Agents could be heard saying a shooter was down — then the ex-president says ‘let me get my shoes,” the British network reported.

Just today in Philadelphia, Vice President Kamala Harris said that Trump is a politicians who “incites hate,” the Times reported:

Someone who vilifies immigrants, who promotes xenophobia, who stokes hate and who incites fear should never again have the chance to stand behind a microphone, And never again have the chance to stand behind the seal of the president of the United States of America.
