An assassination attempt was made at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, but Donald Trump survived the incident, according to a statement from his campaign. Trump was quickly escorted off the stage after apparent gunshots rang through the crowd.

During his final rally before the Republican National Convention, Trump was presenting a chart of border crossing figures when the noises were heard. He was seen reaching for his neck with his right hand, and there seemed to be blood on his face.
