Ahead of the 2024 US presidential elections, a gunfire incident disrupted former President Donald Trump's rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday (local time), as reported by CBS News.

Following the incident, Trump was immediately escorted off stage by US Secret Service agents. He was taken away in a motorcade.

In the videos that went viral on social media, Trump could be seen bleeding from his ear. However, there was no official confirmation in this regard.

A top government official told CBS News that the former president is safe. "We have implemented protective security measures. This is being investigated further," the official said.

Meanwhile, Tesla CEO Elon Musk wished Trump a "rapid recovery" soon after the incident took place.

In a post on X, Musk wrote, "I fully endorse President Trump and hope for his rapid recovery," sharing a video of the incident.
