On Saturday night, a Nevada rally became the scene of chaos when Donald Trump was suddenly rushed offstage in Reno. The above clip, which is a breaking one, showed Trump peering into the audience before two Secret Service agents suddenly appeared and rushed him offstage. They flanked him in a protective stance as the three men hustled away from an “apparent threat,” according to a live CNN report.
Some photos from the scene reveal part of the immediate investigation. The incident occurred at around 9:10pm EST. After Trump left the stage, security removed an unidentified man from the rally audience. NBC Correspondent Jacob Rascon, who was in attendance, tweeted a photo that indicated that the man was being held in a bathroom at the rally venue.

Very unconfirmed bystander reports (along with other scattered Twitter accounts) suggest that this man may have pulled out a gun. Jose A. DelReal of The Washington Post tweeted this picture.
