A spectator was also killed at the rally in Pennsylvania, the Secret Service said. Former President Donald J. Trump said in a post online that he had been “shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part” of his ear.

Former President Donald J. Trump was rushed off a stage by Secret Service agents at a rally in Butler, Pa., after several pops that sounded like gunshots.

Mr. Trump went to the ground and was immediately surrounded by agents, who then escorted him to a motorcade. The former president pumped his fist at the crowd as he was hustled off the stage.

When the pops began at 6:13 p.m., Mr. Trump appeared to grab his right ear, which appeared to be bleeding as he left the stage.

    The crowd just stood around bewildered throughout the whole thing. I mean, I do kinda get it, that weird pop sound in the video sounds too faint, unlike gunfire. Funny how he had time to mug for the camera after the “shooting”.

    The last fucking thing we need is Donald Trump the living martyr.
