STORYLINE:
Donald Trump appeared to be the target of an assassination attempt as he spoke during a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday.
That’s according to two law enforcement officials who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Associated Press photojournalist Evan Vucci has spent years covering former President Trump.
He was on the ground with Trump in Pennsylvania at the rally, and recounts the moments shots were fired.
“I was right in front of the stage, directly in front of stage. It was a normal rally. You know, I’ve done it hundreds of times. And, over my left shoulder, I heard several, several pops, and I knew immediately it was gunfire,” Vucci said.
The former president, his ear covered in blood from what he said was a gunshot, was quickly pulled away by Secret Service agents.
“And then as he’s walking down the ramp, he started fist pumping to the crowd and waving. And I did notice he had blood coming down his face, as you can see in the photos. The agents took him down the ramp, and they put him into an SUV. And again, as he was getting into the SUV, he also started pumping his fist again,” Vucci said.
