Journalists at the rally said they heard "a series of loud explosions or loud bangs" before Secret Service agents rushed toward Trump.
US President Joseph Biden was immediately informed about the events in the small town north of Pittsburgh, and officials from both parties - Democrats and Republicans - stood up against the politically motivated violence, half an hour after the incident.
Representatives of the Trump campaign, without explaining what happened, thanked members of the security services for their quick reaction.
"President Trump thanks law enforcement and those who responded immediately during this cowardly attack. He is doing well and is being examined at a medical facility," Trump's team announced on the "X" network, formerly Twitter.
About twenty minutes after the incident, the Secret Service asked the media representatives to move away, because the place where the Trump rally was held was declared a crime scene.
"Trump is fine"
Donald Trump's spokesman Stephen Chung said the former US president is "fine" after collapsing on stage at a rally in Pennsylvania, where shots were fired.
