Donald Trump is safe and a shooter and bystander dead after multiple shots rang out at a rally by the Republican presidential candidate in Pennsylvania, reports say.

Video shows Trump grimacing and raising his right hand to his right ear as shots are heard at the outdoor event.

Body guards then crowded around Trump as he ducked below the podium and armed officers took up positions at the front of the stage.

Trump repeatedly raised his fist to the crowd and shouted as he was escorted to a vehicle by the US Secret Service.

"The Secret Service has implemented protective measures and the former president is safe," a Secret Service spokesperson said on X after what the agency called an incident.

"This is now an active Secret Service investigation and further information will be released when available."
