Former President Donald Trump was wounded in what the FBI is treating as an assassination attempt at his campaign rally on Saturday night.

Just minutes into Trump’s remarks in Butler, Pennsylvania, gunshots could be heard as the former president grabbed his right ear and ducked to the ground behind his lectern. Within seconds, Secret Service agents rushed to cover him up.

About a minute later, agents helped Trump back to his feet, with the former president thrusting his fist in the air and yelling, “Fight,” with his ear covered in blood.
