Possible shots were fired at former President Donald Trump's rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on Saturday.

Reporters heard numerous shots and Secret Service rushed the stage. Video captured by CBS News shows Trump touching his ear and then crouching to the ground. Some blood could be seen on his face.

Trump was taken away in a motorcade. He held up a fist as he got into the SUV.

A senior government official confirmed to CBS News that the former president is safe.

"We have implemented protective security measures. This is being investigated further," the official said.

North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, considered a possible choice for Trump's running mate, posted on social media, "Please join Kathryn and me in praying for President Trump, his family and everyone attending the rally today."
