Donald Trump has been rushed off stage after multiple shots were heard at a rally in Pennsylvania, where the former president was speaking.

Images showed blood on Mr Trump’s face and ear and snipers on the roof near the stage where Mr Trump was standing.

A statement from the Trump campaign […] "He is fine and is being checked out at a local medical facility.

The post has video of the event and immediate aftermath (minimal blood/gore etc)


As of about 9:50 Melbourne time, Reuters and AP are both independently reporting two deaths: a “shooter” and an audience member / rally attendee.


Be skeptical of updates from unvetted sources like social media. Reuters and AP have more if you want something faster than local news.

I have to go life now so there’ll be no more timely edits with new information unless it’s so insane that someone barges in to tell me about it.

    Ok well that was a bit of a detour but it’s naive to think that even if people took up arms those who eventually step into power would somehow be benevolent. You only have to look at the history of Russia, Germany and many South East Asian countries as an example.
