Steven Cheung — Trump‘s communications director — tells TMZ … “President Trump thanks law enforcement and first responders for their quick action during this heinous act. He is fine and is being checked out at a local medical facility. More details will follow.”
Donald Trump may have just been shot and injured at a rally in Pennsylvania.
The former President of the United States was giving a rally in Butler, PA when pops rang out through the crowd, causing confusion and screams to echo in the air.
Watch the video … Trump’s hand goes up to his neck and head area for a moment before Secret Service lunges forward, tackling him to the ground — protecting the Republican nominee with their bodies.

Trum’s downed on the ground for a moment before his security details wrenches him back to his feet, trying to hustle him away from the podium. Trump pushes back though, raising his hand in defiance to the shocked crowd.
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.
We don’t know the extent of his injuries or if this was in fact a shooting.
