Trump was speaking on stage at a July 13 rally in Butler, Pennsylvania when several shots were fired from an unknown direction in the crowd. 

Trump clutched his ear as shots sounded and dropped to the ground as his security detail rushed to protect him. 

While being whisked off the stage by his security detail, Trump asked them to pause while he raised his fist and shouted at the crowd. 

An official spokesperson from Trump's campaign told the Associated Press the former President was "fine" following the incident and that he was undergoing medical treatment at a local facility. 

“President Trump thanks law enforcement and first responders for their quick action during this heinous act,” spokesman Steven Cheung said in a statement. “He is fine and is being checked out at a local medical facility. More details will follow.”

The price of several other Trump-themed memecoins also rallied on the news.

Solana-based memecoin Tremp (TREMP) jumped more than 63% in the hour following the news, while the MAGA Hat (MAGA) token briefly spiked 21% within the same timeframe.
