"This is Julie Carr Smyth in Butler County, Pennsylvania, where Donald Trump’s rally has just been evacuated after shots rang out from the crowd and the president dropped on the stage and was surrounded by the Secret Service. And two people in the crowd apparently were injured. They were in the grandstands to the left of the podium where he was speaking. He is okay, has been walked, has been whisked off the stage, and the entire grounds have been evacuated at this point and they have been declared an active crime scene by the Secret Service."
