Former President of the United States and candidate for the same position, Donald Trump, was apparently shot by someone during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania. Several shots rang out, Trump grabbed his right ear and hid behind the counter. Members of the Secret Service then surrounded him and took him to their car and escorted him to safety.
