A mix of Service agents quickly piled on top of him to protect him whilst snipers returned fire at their target, around 100m away, who was shot dead at the scene. Sadly, one person in the crowd was also killed.
The microphone on Trump’s podium captured what those brave Secret Service personnel said to the controversial MAGA founder, as they shouted, “Get down, get down, get down, get down.”
Whilst they protected him and the crowd began to scream through the sounds of gunshots, one agent asks, “What are we doing?”
They then made the decision to transition the 2016 US Election winner to a vehicle to get him away from the scene before he headed to the hospital for treatment for a minor injury to his ear.
“Turn him around to the spare, move him to the spare,” one agent responds, with spare meaning a spare car. “Move him to the spare, hold him, when you’re ready.”
Upon confirmation that the shooter was dead, the agents then moved Trump to the car with armed personnel protecting them where he was evacuated.
The agents then lift the 78-year-old 6ft4in man up from the floor where he was spotted and photographed with blood streaking down his face whilst he demanded to put his shoes on. He then held his fist up to the crowd to prove to them that he’s okay.
Trump reacts to shooting online
In what was no doubt a scary moment for all involved, it seems as though it opened the ex-POTUS’ eyes to the issue of gun crime within the United States, as well as domestic terrorism, and just how dangerous the weapons can be.
Sadly, two people were hurt along with the President at the rally in Butler, PA and he extended his condolences to their families on his personal social media platform.
“I want to thank The United States Secret Service, and all of Law Enforcement for their rapid response on the shooting that just took place in Butler, Pennsylvania,” Trump wrote on Truth Social hours after the shooting. “Most importantly, I want to extend my condolences to the family of the person at the Rally who was killed.
“And also to the family of another person that was badly injured. It is incredible that such an act can take place in our Country. Nothing is known at this time about the shooter, who is now dead.”>>>CONTINUE FULL READING HERE
