Donald Trump was rushed offstage during a rally in Reno, Nevada Saturday night after a protester in the audience threatened the Republican presidential candidate.
“Go! Go!” a Secret Service agent shouted as other agents flanked Trump and whisked him backstage. Meanwhile, near the stage, Reno police and crowd members seemingly pummeled the male suspect on the ground before he was arrested by Secret Service.
Hundreds of screaming crowd members scattered for the exits when Trump was taken offstage after someone shouted “gun” in the audience.
UPDATE 9:45 PM EST:
Senior sources tell @ABC the threat escalated when someone shouted gun at Trump rally. Source with direct knowledge says no weapon found

Now The Left Wants Secret Service to verify there's a Gun in Crowd Before Removing #Trump. Crowd Yelling "Gun" Not enough for Genius Libs.
