Donald Trump appeared to be shot in the ear as shots were fired at the former president at a rally in Pennsylvania.

Trump grabbed at the side of his face and blood spattered across his cheek as several popping sounds were heard.

Unfortunately, I just heard the word going around that someone in the crowd died, so it does definitely appear at the very least real shots were going into the crowd. None of that has been verified, as far as I can tell, but I'm sure we'll get all the details by tomorrow if not in the next few hours. It's not looking good either way, sadly. You're right that the right wing is going to use this for all the mileage it'll get, stunt or not.
