Gunshots can be heard mid-speech before Trump grabs his ear where the bullet grazed him and falls to the ground. His security team covers him moments later.
Before he is led off stage, microphones catch Trump telling his team to wait, whereafter he turns to the crowd and lifts his fist in the air, causing the crowd to erupt in cheer chanting ‘USA! USA!’ as he is led to safety.
