WASHINGTON — What began as a jubilant rally Saturday for Donald Trump days before he becomes the official Republican presidential nominee ended in mere minutes with the former president bloodied and a suspected would-be assassin shot dead by the Secret Service.
The former president was appearing at his last rally before the Republican National Convention opens Monday when bangs started ringing through the crowd, which erupted in screams.
A few short minutes into Donald Trump's campaign rally, shots rang out, at least five. He clutched at his ear as dark-suited Secret Service agents dashed toward him. Trump dropped to the ground as the agents yelled, "Get down!"
Global leaders have expressed concern over an apparent assassination attempt targeting former U.S. President Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania that left one attendee dead.
