When he emerged from behind the podium, still surrounded by his Secret Service detail, Trump was bleeding from his ear, his face smeared with blood.
It scared the living hell out of anyone watching the rally.
Reports are sketchy despite multiple witnesses at the Butler, Penn., rally. But here's the way it looked just a few minutes ago.
After he was surrounded by Secret Service personnel, Trump was seen shaking his fist and uttering what appeared to be the f-word, presumably at the shooter.
Fox News's Brit Hume said that while the president is alive and standing and angry, Ronald Reagan appeared to be OK, too, after the assassination attempt made by John Hinkley Jr.
The Trump campaign issued a statement moments ago:
“President Trump thanks law enforcement and first responders for their quick action during this heinous act. He is fine and is being checked out at a local medical facility. More details will follow.”
Washington Examiner reporter Selena Zito, who was near the president at the time, told Fox News, "I knew immediately it was a gun... no doubt about it."
There are reports that the shooter and a rally attendee were killed.
