No Weapon Found But Trump Son And Aide Spread False Rumor Of 'Assassination Attempt'
Trump Rushed From Stage After Shout Of 'Gun!' But No Weapon Found
RENO, Nev. (AP) No weapon was involved in a commotion that briefly disrupted Donald Trump's Saturday night rally and caused agents to hustle Trump from the stage, the Secret Service said.
The Republican presidential nominee had been speaking to supporters for a while when a disturbance broke out in the crowd close to the podium. Two Secret Service agents quickly surrounded Trump, then hustled him away.
In a statement, the Secret Service said a person in front of the stage had shouted "Gun!" but that no weapon was found after a search of the person and the immediate area. The person was apprehended, but officials did not identify the person or disclose whether the person had been charged with a crime.
The Secret Service said an investigation into the incident was ongoing.
