Donald Trump was whisked off the stage at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania after loud noises rang through the crowd.

Trump was showing off a chart of border crossing numbers when bangs started ringing through the crowd. Trump could be seen reaching with his right hand toward his neck. There appeared to be blood on his face.

He quickly ducked behind the riser as agents from his protective detail rushed the stage and screams rang out from the crowd. The bangs continued as agents tended to him on stage.

His motorcade has left the venue.

In a statement, Trump says he is “fine” and says he is being checked at a medical facility.

Donald Trump was safe, the U.S. Secret Service and his campaign said on Saturday after multiple shots rang out at a rally by the Republican presidential candidate in Pennsylvania as video showed Trump grimacing and raising a hand to his right ear.

The former president had just started his speech when gunshots erupted and Trump and other rally attendees hit the deck. Secret Service agents swarmed around him and live video showed blood on the right side of Trump’s face and ear.

Trump repeatedly raised his fist in the air, with an American flag visible behind him, as security ushered him away.

“The Secret Service has implemented protective measures and the former president is safe,” a spokesperson for the agency said on X after what it called an incident.

“This is now an active Secret Service investigation and further information will be released when available.”

– Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was released after 12 hours of police questioning regarding misconduct allegations linked to Epstein.
– His arrest marks a significant moment for the Royal Family, facing increased scrutiny following controversy.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been released from police custody after nearly 12 hours of questioning.

He was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office related to revelations from the Epstein files. The former duke has denied any wrongdoing concerning Jeffrey Epstein.

The arrest occurred at Wood Farm early in the morning. He was later taken to Aylsham Police Station, located 40 miles away. Andrew’s journey home, to the Sandringham estate, took about an hour.

Response To Arrest

Commentary from the British media indicates that the image of Andrew leaving police custody will likely have lasting ramifications for the Royal Family. Observers say that he appeared visibly affected and “terrified” by the situation.

Royal correspondent Rhiannon Mills highlighted the gravity of the moment, stating that such an image is troubling for the monarchy.

This is the first royal interaction with law enforcement since Princess Anne’s dog incident.

The royal family has faced heightened scrutiny following the release of the Epstein files.

King Charles has remarked that the law must be upheld and enforced equally, irrespective of status. Multiple outlets will continue to cover developments in this ongoing story.

Zelenskiy blames Moscow for stalling Geneva peace talks; negotiations to resume amid unresolved eastern territory and nuclear power plant disputes.

Two days of high-stakes negotiations in Geneva have ended without a breakthrough, as Ukraine and Russia failed to reach an agreement on key issues in the ongoing war. Despite international pressure, both sides walked away without a deal.

President Volodymyr Zelenskiy accused Moscow of deliberately stalling United States-mediated peace efforts, while Russia signalled it would not accept terms it sees as unfavourable. The White House says further talks are expected.

Major sticking points remain over territory in eastern Ukraine and control of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, with both sides rejecting proposals that would involve significant territorial concessions.
