According to a witness who attended the Trump rally in Butler, PA, a man with a rifle was spotted on a nearby rooftop minutes before shots were fired at Trump.
The witness, named Greg Smith, told BBC he was a man crawl on top of a nearby building, outside the event space, and informed police.
Smith said: “I’m thinking to myself ‘Why is Trump still speaking, why have they not pulled him off the stage’… the next thing you know, five shots ring out.”
This information has not been confirmed at this time.
Trump was seen with some blood on him after being shot through the ear. He proceeded to raise his fist as Secret Service Agents swarmed around him. He was evacuated safely to a nearby medical facility.

Reactions from government leaders poured in shortly after a shooting at Donald Trump’s rally in Butler, Pa., Saturday afternoon, with Democrats and Republicans alike denouncing the violence.
“There is no place in America for this kind of violence,” President Biden said in remarks from the Rehoboth Beach, Del., police department. “It’s sick. … It cannot be like this. We cannot condone this.”
Biden, the presumptive Democratic nominee to face Trump in November’s general election, said he did not have all the details on others in the audience who might have been injured. When asked whether he thought the shooting was an assassination attempt, Biden said, “I have an opinion, but I don’t have all the facts.”

The head of Hamas’s terror army, Mohammed Deif, was targeted by an Israel Defense Forces strike in the southern Gaza Strip on Saturday morning.
Deif and Rafa’a Salameh, the commander of the terror group’s Khan Younis Brigade, were targeted in a building above ground close to the al-Mawasi humanitarian zone and the city of Khan Younis.
“The [Israel Air Force] carried out a strike in an area where two senior Hamas terrorists and additional terrorists hid among civilians. The location of the strike was an open area surrounded by trees, several buildings, and sheds,” said the IDF.
The two men were hiding out among civilians but were not embedded within encampments earmarked for displaced Palestinians, the military added.

BUTLER, Pa. – The gunshots were high-pitched pops, slight and hollow in the open air.
Donald Trump, the former president set to accept the Republican nomination in five days, was less than 10 minutes into his speech here to a crowd of tens of thousands. A miles-long line of cars crawled for hours to pass through metal detectors and bag inspections, just like any Trump event, until these green fairgrounds became a sea of red hats.
Trump was almost an hour late, and his supporters waited impatiently under the blazing sun and thumping music. In the middle of the crowd, opposite the stage, a platform of TV cameras pointed at the podium, with reporters huddled underneath for shade.

Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu wrote that he and his wife Sara are “shocked by the apparent attack on President Trump” and are praying “for his safety and speedy recovery.”
Netanyahu released the statement two minutes before 2 a.m. on Sunday morning in Israel, which was 6:58 p.m. in Butler County, Pa., where former U.S. president Donald Trump was bloodied after being hit in the ear by a bullet at a political rally.
An attendee of the event and the shooter are dead, the county district attorney told the Associated Press.
U.S. President Joe Biden did not issue a statement for another hour, at 7:58 p.m., when he stated that he had been briefed about the shooting.
