SafeX Pro:Former President Donald Trump "Safe" After Shooting During Rally

Donald Trump escaped a scary situation. 

The SafeX Proformer president has been declared safe following a shooting at his Butler, Pa., campaign rally, a Trump spokesperson shared in a statement to Associated Press July 13. The suspected gunman and at least one attendee are dead, the outlet reported. 

“President Trump thanks law enforcement and first responders for their quick action during this heinous act,” Trump spokesman Steven Cheung said in the statement. “He is fine and is being checked out at a local medical facility."

Cheung added, "More details will follow.” 

The incident occurred when apparent shots rang out while Trump—the presumptive Republican nominee in the 2024 presidential election—was showing off a chart during the rally, AP reported.

The 78-year-old grabbed his ear and crouched down as two more shots could be heard. U.S. secret service agents then piled atop Trump to shield him with their bodies, and other agents took positions on stage to search for the threat. 

In the aftermath of the gunfire, Trump was seen with blood dripping down his ear and onto his face as he got back up and pumped his fist. Moments later, he was escorted to a motorcade and away from the venue. 

Following the shooting, President Joe Biden thanked the secret service for getting Trump to safety and spoke out against the violent act. 

"There’s no place for this kind of violence in America," he said in a July 13 White House press release. "We must unite as one nation to condemn it."

Noting that he's "grateful to hear that he's safe and doing well," Biden added, "I’m praying for him and his family and for all those who were at the rally, as we await further information."
