Former U.S. Donald Trump was rushed off stage during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania after multiple shots rang out in the crowd.
Trump hit the deck moments after the first shots fired before being quickly surrounded by his security detail. Shortly after, ’45’ emerged and pumped his fist while being escorted off stage. Trump appeared to have blood on his ear and cheek suggesting he had been grazed by a bullet.
I just landed and missed an assignation attempt. Holy shit. What a bad ass reaction from Trump. The election is over. He's the next president. The Dems should give up. They can't beat him now. pic.twitter.com/omtbue191d

Dana White, who is a close personal friend of Trump, offered his reaction after learning of the incident while on an international flight.
“I’m on a plane right now flying to Italy and my phone has been blowing up with text messages from people informing me @realdonaldtrump was shot,” White wrote on Instagram. “I am absolutely SICK to my stomach and in complete shock. I still don’t know how bad it is or if he’s ok. But @mickmaynard2 just sent me this picture and I’m praying President Trump is 100% healthy. This image perfectly reflects EXACTLY the man I know Donald Trump to be. He is the toughest, most resilient, AMERICAN BAD ASS on this planet.
“I hope the weak coward that shot him gets what he deserves, and I can’t WAIT to stand up on stage with him on Thursday and introduce him at the Republican National Convention and tell the WORLD exactly the character of the friend and man I KNOW!!”
According to a report from FOX News, the shooter is dead and two others were injured and dispatched to a local hospital.

We all know who tried to kill him. They did the same to Kennedy. We all knew this was coming.

Doesn’t matter what side of the political fence you’re on, this is major foul play! I heard they put the shooter down? Waiting for more updates. A fair fight for the office is better than someone trying to take the oppositions life. https://t.co/ncLId8w0xL
