Multiple shots ring out at Donald Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania, with the Republican presidential candidate raising a fist as he is escorted to a vehicle by the US Secret Service, footage from event shows.

Video and images appear to show blood on his ear and armed law enforcement officers are then seen on a roof near the stage where Trump was standing.

Trump is then bundled into an SUV and driven away.

“We saw a lot of people go down, looking confused. I heard the shots, it sounded like between firecrackers and a small caliber handgun,” says John Yeykal from Franklin, Pennsylvania, who was attending his first Trump rally.

US President Joe Biden says he has not been briefed on the reported shooting, speaking to reporters as he walks out of church in Delaware.
