Following this, a few moments later, agenst said, "When  you're ready," followed by “On you.”

One then immediately shouted, "Move! Shooter's down. Move!" Trump then said, "Let me get my shoes, let me get my shoes, let me get my shoes!" to which one of the agents reassured the former president, "We’ve got you, sir," he said while another one requested Trump, "Hold onto your head, it’s bloody."

However, the 76-year-old asked the agents, "Wait, wait” as he showed his raised fist to the crowd of supporters present at the rally, and appeared to repeatedly mouth the words "Fight. Fight." along with raising his fist towards the roaring crowd cheered "USA, USA," as the agents moved Trump from the stage.

Blood were visible flowing from Trump’s right ear and across his face as he was ushered towards the black SUV.

I knew immediately that something was wrong when I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin. Much bleeding took place, so I realized then what was happening," the 78-year-old added after being rushed to the local hospital.
