Moments after the former president began to incite the crowd, five gunshots were heard and he collapsed surrounded by Secret Service agents.
“And then the worst president in our country’s history took office. And think about what’s happened to our country. Maybe 20 million people died. [came in illegally]”And, you know, this chart is kind of old. This chart is from a few months ago. If you want to see what’s really sad, look what just happened,” Trump said before gunshots rang out.

As he was being taken away, he raised his arms in defiance, even though his head was bleeding.
As security guards helped Trump to his feet and hurried him off the stage, he could be heard telling them: “Let me get my shoes.”
