Donald Trump is safe after shots rang out at a political rally in Butler, Pennsylvania late Saturday afternoon ET. The former president, speaking at the podium, grabbed his head amid the sound of gunfire; blood was seen on his ear and face as security rushed to surround him. Press reports say the shooter was quickly killed by Secret Service agents; a spectator at the rally is also reported to be dead. This is the first attempted assassination of a US president or presidential candidate since the 1981 shooting of Ronald Reagan.
