RENO,
Nev. — Donald Trump was abruptly rushed off the stage by Secret Service
in the middle of a Saturday night rally here when an unidentified man
apparently tried to rush the stage.
Multiple
witnesses near the front of the stage told reporters afterwards that
they believed that the man had a gun, but the claim could not be
confirmed by Yahoo News. The Secret Service had no immediate comment.
Trump
had paused his stump speech to call out a protester when several Secret
Service agents suddenly rushed to him and grabbed him off the stage.
Chaos ensued as the crowd began to rush away from the stage. Some rushed
back toward a barricaded area where the press corps was set up and
began screaming at them.
“Why
don’t you cover this!” a man screamed as reporters stood on their
chairs with cameras, trying to get a better look. “Liars!”
As
rally attendees began to fearfully race for the exits, Trump aides
rushed to the candidate’s traveling press corps and ordered them to
immediately rush to the motorcade
