Gunshots have reportedly been fired at Donald Trump's rally, with the former president rushed off-stage by security staff.

Trump was quickly surrounded by armed security and stayed down for around a minute.


He then rose to his feet and put his fist in the air, before being escorted off stage and into a vehicle.

It doesn't get any more iconic than this.

That country is barreling towards Civil War II
 
Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and the Republican leader in the Senate, said in a statement: “Tonight, all Americans are grateful that President Trump appears to be fine after a despicable attack on a peaceful rally. Violence has no place in our politics. We appreciate the swift work of the Secret Service and other law enforcement.”
The guy who happily goes along with Trump, along with his entire party, after January 6th...
 
After grazing his ear did the "bullet" hit any of the people who were behind Trump?

He was shot from left of screen when he was looking that way (his right). So one would have to wait to hear what was right of screen. From the videos I can see, his elevated platform raised him above the people right of screen so there is a chance nobody was hit.
