Trump had just begun speaking when as many as five shots were heard. As the Secret Service led Trump away, blood could be seen on the side of his face.

“An incident occurred the evening of July 13 at a Trump rally in Pennsylvania. The Secret Service has implemented protective measures, and the former President is safe. This is now an active Secret Service investigation, and further information will be released when available,” the Secret Service said in a statement.
