The scene grew more chaotic as a flurry of bullets followed, apparently law enforcement returning fire, although the origin of the initial shots remained unclear.

For about a minute, Trump lay on the ground before his security detail managed to get him back on his feet, attempting to escort him away from the stage. Despite the situation, Trump displayed his characteristic defiance, raising his fist to the shocked and concerned crowd. Blood could be seen leaking from near his ear, indicating he had been hit by one of the projectiles.

Photographs from the scene show blood oozing down the side of his head to his mouth. Despite this, Trump appeared undeterred, continuing to raise his fist toward the audience. The Secret Service then rushed him off the stage and into his motorcade, transporting him to a local medical facility for treatment.

In the aftermath, armed security personnel took to the stage, vigilantly searching for the shooter or shooters responsible for the attack.

Further details about Trump's condition and the identity of the shooter are eagerly awaited as the investigation continues.
