Trump evacuated from rally stage after apparent shots heard

Republican candidate Donald Trump was evacuated from the stage at a rally after what sounded like shots rang out at the event in Pennsylvania, according to AFP.

The former US president was seen on Saturday with blood on his right ear as he was surrounded by security agents, who hustled him off the stage as he pumped his first to the crowd.

Trump was bundled into an SUV and driven away.

"We saw a lot of people go down, looking confused. I heard the shots, it sounded like between firecrackers and a small caliber handgun," said John Yeykal from Franklin, Pennsylvania, who was attending his first Trump rally.
