Members of the Secret Service's counterassault team neutralized the shooter, according to the Associated Press.
“ U.S. Secret Service quickly responded with protective measures and Former President Trump is safe,” Anthony Guglielmi, a spokesperson for the Secret Service, said in a Saturday night statement.
Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, was showing off a chart of border crossing numbers during his last rally before the Republican National Convention opens Monday when the shots began. As the first pop rang out, Trump said, “Oh,” and grabbed his ear as two more pops could be heard and he crouched down. More shots were heard then.Someone could be heard saying near the microphone at Trump’s lectern, “Get down, get down, get down, get down!” as agents tackled the former president. They piled atop him to shield him with their bodies, as is their training protocol, as other agents took up positions on stage to search for the threat.
