Minutes later the Trump campaigns social media director Dan Scavino promoted a tweet claiming that Trump survived an assassination attempt. The same tweet was retweeted by Trumps son, Donald Trump Jr.
The Secret Service apprehended the man who prompted the incident. He was interviewed and quickly released.
According to the Secret Service, the incident started when an unidentified individual shouted gun. No weapon was found on the scene.

The guy had a sign. The Trumpshirts freaked out and attacked him. SS took Donald from the stage after a scuffle broke out.
Then Uday Trump goes on Twitter and claims it was an assassination attempt and the Trump campaign repeats it at his next rally.
Keep following these morons on Twitter tonight and they'll be claiming Donald himself wrestled a gunman to the ground.
I'm sure the Sunday shows will get right on this and grill his campaign tomorrow about why they lied.
