 Bloodied Trump 'safe' after shots fired at rally
==========

Former US president Donald Trump was deemed 'safe' after being rushed off stage when gunshots were fired at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday. The incident heightened tensions in the run-up to the 2024 election. As the gunshots rang out, Trump grimaced and clutched a hand to his right ear, with blood soon visible across his face. Secret Service agents swarmed onto the podium, surrounded Trump, and escorted him off the stage. The suspected shooter and one bystander were confirmed dead. Trump's campaign said he was 'fine' and being checked at a medical facility. President Joe Biden expressed relief that Trump was safe and condemned the violence. The incident occurred at Trump's final campaign rally before the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee next week. The United States has a history of political violence, and presidents, former presidents, and candidates have tight security. The incident has raised concerns about potential unrest and political harassment before the November election.
