MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - Former President Donald Trump was quickly taken off-stage as shots were fired at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania Saturday.

The U.S. Secret Service released a statement saying a suspected shooter fired multiple rounds during Trump's rally toward the stage from an elevated platform. The agency said the suspected shooter is deceased, one spectator was killed, and two other spectators were hurt. FOX News reported earlier that two others were dead but the Secret Service said two others were injured.

The shooter in the Trump security incident in Pennsylvania was killed by a Secret Service counter sniper team, a source tells Fox News.

Trump's campaign said the former president is safe and fine after being checked out by medical personnel.
