ペンシルヴェニア州は11月の大統領選で重要な激戦州。銃声と思われるものが響くと、演台の近くでプラカードなどを掲げていた複数の支持者もしゃがみ込むなどした。会場では悲鳴が相次いだほか、「USA！ USA！」の連呼も続いた。
現場を目撃したというグレッグさんは、BBCの取材に対し、前大統領が演説を始める5分ほど前に、「クマのように」屋根の上をはう不審な人影を見かけたと話した。その人影について、グレッグさんは警察に指摘したという。
「男はライフルを持っていた。明らかにライフルを持っているのが見えた。自分たちはこの男を指でさしていて、警察は地面を走り回っていた。『屋根の上にライフルを持った男がいるぞ』と言っていたのに、警察は何がなんだかわかっていなかった」と、グレッグさんは話した。
別の目撃者のジェイソンさんはBBCに、立て続けに5発の銃声を聞いたと話した。
「シークレットサービスがトランプを守るためにとびかかるのが見えた。集まっていた全員がすぐに、地面に伏せた。（トランプ前大統領は）すぐに立ち上がって、こぶしを突き上げて、何か言っていた」

Trump rushed off stage at rally as shots heard

Former US President Donald Trump was rushed off stage after gunshots erupted at a rally in Pennsylvania in an apparent assassination attempt.
Footage showed him grimace and raise a hand to his right ear, before ducking as sharp cracks - a series of shots - broke out.
He was quickly swarmed by US Secret Service agents and rushed off stage to a waiting vehicle. He raised a fist as he was bundled into the car.
In a post to his Truth Social network, Trump said a bullet pierced the "upper part" of his right ear. Earlier, his spokesperson said he was "fine" and receiving treatment at a local medical centre.
"I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin," Trump wrote. "Much bleeding took place, so I realized then what was happening."
Blood was clearly visible on Trump's ear and face as protection officers rushed him away.
The suspect was shot dead at the scene by US Secret Service agents, the service's spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi said. He added that one bystander was killed in the shooting and two others were critically injured.
Law enforcement sources told the BBC's US partner CBS News that the male attacker had been armed with a rifle and had fired from an elevated structure a few hundred metres away outside the venue. They added that the attack was being treated as an assassination attempt.
Mr Guglielmi said Trump was safe and that measures for his protection had been implemented. He added that an active investigation was under way.

The Republican candidate for president had just started addressing his supporters in Butler, Pennsylvania - a crucial swing state in November's election - when the shots started.
Multiple bangs rang out as Trump spoke about his successor, President Joe Biden, and his administration.
Several supporters holding placards and standing behind Trump ducked as the shots were heard.
Bystanders who spoke to the BBC suggested the gunshots may have come from a one-storey building to the right of the stage where Trump was speaking.
One witness - Greg - told the BBC that he had spotted a suspicious-looking person "bear crawling" on the roof of the building about five minutes before Trump took to the stage. He said he pointed the person out to police.
"He had a rifle, we could clearly see him with a rifle," he said. "We’re pointing at him, the police are down there running around on the ground – we’re like ‘hey man there’s a guy on the roof with a rifle’ and the police did not know what was going on."
Another witness, Jason, told the BBC that he heard five shots, which went off in quick succession.
“We see the Secret Service jump on Trump to protect him. Everyone in the crowd dropped down very quickly," he said.
“He shortly thereafter stood up and put his fist up in the air, said a couple of things."
Tim - who was also at the rally - told the BBC that he had heard a "barrage" of shots.
"There was a spray which we initially thought was a fire hose, and then the speaker on the right-hand side started coming down," he said.
"Something must have hit the hydraulic lines [which caused it to fall]. We saw President Trump go to the ground and everyone started dropping to the ground because it was chaos."

Warren and Debbie were at the venue and told the BBC they heard at least four gunshots.
They said they both got on the ground as Secret Service agents came through the crowd, shouting for the attendees to get down. People remained calm, they said.
"We couldn't believe it was happening," Warren said.
Debbie said a little girl beside them was crying that she didn't want to die and saying "how is this happening to us?"
"That broke my heart," Debbie said.

Witness says he saw gunman on roof
Speaking from his home state of Delaware, President Biden deplored the attack, calling it "sick".
"There's no place in America for this kind of violence," he said, adding that he hoped to speak to Trump in the coming hours. "Everybody must condemn it," he said.
Politicians of both parties joined Mr Biden in condemning the apparent attack.
Former President Barack Obama said there "is absolutely no place for political violence in our democracy" and that he was "relieved that former President Trump wasn’t seriously hurt".
Trump's former vice-president Mike Pence said he and his wife were praying for his former ally, adding that he urged "every American to join us".
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said in a statement: “My thoughts and prayers are with former President Trump. I am thankful for the decisive law enforcement response. America is a democracy. Political violence of any kind is never acceptable.”
UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer led international condemnation of the shooting, saying he was "appalled by the shocking scenes at President Trump's rally".
"Political violence in any form has no place in our societies and my thoughts are with all the victims of this attack," he said in a statement.
Trump was set to accept his party's nomination for president at the convention in Milwaukee on Monday. Some had speculated that he had been set to reveal his running mate at the Butler rally.
He remains locked in a tight contest with President Biden in a re-match of the 2020 election.
