At least one person killed after gunshots at Trump rally | DW News

Former US President Donald Trump was addressing the crowd at a rally in Pennsylvania when gunshots rang out. As Trump grabbed his ear, Secret Service officers rushed onto the stage and pulled him to the ground. He was kept on the ground until he could be taken away. Trump then raised his fist into the air and appeared to shout the words "fight." He was then led off the stage, appearing to have blood on his ear, and taken away in a vehicle. Authorities say the shooter has been neutralized and a person in the crowd has been killed.
