Facts are still being confirmed, but President Donald Trump appears to have been shot during a rally Saturday in Butler, Pennsylvania. Video shows Trump touching his ear as he goes down, but he then was lifted by Secret Service agents back up, blood on his face, before pumping his fist to the crowd, signaling to his supporters that he survived.

At that moment, Evan Vucci of the Associated Press captured this image:

Whatever one thinks of Trump, it is now time for everyone to calm down their rhetoric. Trump, while imperfect, is not a threat to democracy. If he wins, it will not be the last election held in our country. The vitriol directed at him has been harmful, opportunistic, cynical, and now very possibly has led to actual violence.

Trump is reportedly in good health and the crowd was rallied by his defiant fist pump as the Secret Service escorted him out. It is a moment and an image that is destined to become iconic.
