Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, grabbed his right ear and ducked to the ground after several shots were heard Saturday afternoon while he was delivering a campaign speech.
He was swarmed by Secret Service agents and whisked away from the site, after being photographed with apparent blood on his face.
The Secret Service issued a statement about the shooting: "During Former President Trump's campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on the evening of July 13 at approximately 6:15 p.m., a suspected shooter fired multiple shots toward the stage from an elevated position outside of the rally venue. U.S. Secret Service personnel neutralized the shooter, who is now deceased. U.S. Secret Service quickly responded with protective measures and Former President Trump is safe. One spectator was killed, and two spectators were critically injured. This incident is currently under investigation, and the Secret Service has notified the FBI."
The FBI said the deceased and two critically injured attendees were men.
The man who died was identified by family members Sunday as 50-year-old Corey Comperatore, a volunteer fire chief for the nearby community of Buffalo Township who was said to be shielding his wife and daughter from the gunfire when he was fatally struck by a bullet.
