4:00 PM PT — While some outlets are reporting the shots came from inside the venue, others are saying the weapon was actually longer range from outside the event. It’s unclear exactly which is the case at this time.
Watch the video … Trump clearly reacts as the sound of three shots ring out, then places his hand on his ear and drops to the ground. Secret Service lunges forward, wrestling him down — protecting the Republican nominee with their bodies.
While it’s unclear exactly where the shot came from, it seems Trump was hit by one of the projectiles … because blood is leaking from somewhere on his head near his ear.
Another photo shows the blood oozing from the side of his head down to his mouth … though the former president appears unfazed and continues with his power fist toward the audience.
Secret Service continues pushing until DJT is off the stage and hustles him to his motorcade. He has been taken to a local medical facility.
