Moments after he was shot at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, former President Donald Trump was seen with blood on his ear and cheek as he was rushed off the stage.

Audio reveals how the chaotic scene performed out from the view of Trump and people concerned in getting him to security.

Trump was in the midst of talking when a number of pictures rang out. He clasps his ear and geese as Secret Service brokers encompass him. “Get down, get down, get down,” one says. One other shot sounds and a girl screams.
