UPDATE July 13, 7:30 p.m. EDT

Shortly after President Trump began speaking at his campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, reports of what sounded like gunshots were heard. The former president was seen clutching the side of his face and then ducking behind the podium as the Secret Service pulled him for cover.

Despite bleeding near his ear, President Trump, with the help of the Secret Service, stood up and raised his fist in the air to the cheers of the shocked crowd of nearly 30,000 people. He defiantly told the security guards he had to get his shoes.

An unidentified shout of “shooter on the ground” was reportedly recorded on microphones near the stage. The Secret Service quickly ushered him into the motorcade vehicles and Trump was rushed away from the scene.

The Secret Service reported that there was an “incident” at the rally and that the president was “safe.”

Trump is being examined at a local medical facility. The White House has said President Biden has been informed.

This story is still current and will be updated as new information becomes available.

Pray with us as the Lord shows you…

• For President Trump and his staff and his family.
• For the secret service and law enforcement authorities in their investigations.
• For those present who may have been injured in the chaos.
