The rally, held just before the Republican National Convention, turned chaotic when gunfire erupted as Trump showcased a chart of border crossing statistics. As the first shot rang out, Trump reacted, saying, “Oh,” and grabbed his ear before crouching down amid more gunfire.

An urgent voice near Trump’s microphone shouted, “Get down, get down, get down, get down!” as agents rushed to protect him. Trump was seen reaching for his face, apparently bloodied, before taking cover behind the riser. Agents swiftly tended to him while the crowd of several thousand people screamed in panic. Despite the ordeal, the crowd cheered as Trump stood up and pumped his fist in defiance.
