Donald Trump injured in shooting at Pennsylvania rally that leaves two dead

Donald Trump was injured in a shooting at an election rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday evening, an act of political violence that threatens to upend an already tumultuous US election race and deepen the country’s polarisation.

The former president was injured in a volley of gunfire at 6.15pm that the US Secret Service said came from an “elevated position” outside the venue. The shots killed one spectator and wounded at least two other spectators.
