Attack on Donald Trump
Former U.S. President Donald Trump was injured during Saturday's campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Trump fell to the ground during his speech, holding his head, and was then escorted to his car by the Secret Service.
"President Trump is fine and is being examined at a local medical facility," stated Donald Trump's campaign team in a statement.
Butler County District Attorney Richard Goldinger said in a phone interview with the AP agency that the suspected shooter is dead. He also added that at least one rally participant was killed.
