Former US President Donald Trump just narrowly escaped an assassination attempt.

According to reports from local media outlets, the 2024 Republican nominee for US Presidency was seen surrounded by secret service agents who rushed to the stage to his aid.

Shots were fired in the air and at Donald Trump directly, causing panic and chaos in the rally featuring hundreds of supporters of the Republican party.

An unidentified shooter managed to make his way into the closed arena where Trump was discussing immigration. And then all of a sudden, loud sounds of gunshots filled the air.

As security surrounded Trump, another loud sound was heard from nearby that mentioned, ‘Shooter Down’. This made it clear that the shooter looming around was caught but it’s not yet confirmed if he was killed or taken into custody alive.

President Joe Biden happened to be attending a church service during those hours and was asked to comment on the matter.

He confirmed that he was yet to receive any kind of briefing related to the shooting and therefore couldn’t comment on the matter right now.

As per the US Secret Service and other insiders, Trump was safe.
