Donald Trump survived an attempt on his life when a young gunman fired multiple shots at the former US president at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania, injuring his right ear. This incident could dramatically change the already volatile political scene ahead of the high-stakes presidential election.
Trump, 78, was addressing his supporters at the packed outdoor rally in Butler town on Saturday when shots rang out. Video footage showed him grabbing his ear as bullets flew. Trump's ear and cheek were bloodied as he was rushed off the stage by Secret Service agents.
Chaos ensued as the crowd screamed and bolted for the exits. Secret Service agents shielded Trump and whisked him away to a Pittsburgh-area hospital. A defiant Trump pumped his fist and urged the crowd to "fight" as he was taken off stage.
