WASHINGTON -- Former U.S. President Donald Trump was seen bleeding from his right ear as he was rushed to a vehicle by the U.S. Secret Service, after multiple gunshots rang out at a campaign rally on Saturday in Pennsylvania.

Trump grabbed his ear but later pumped his fist in the air several times as he was taken off stage by agents, live footage of his speech showed. Screams were heard from the crowd.
