Shots rang out as Trump was speaking to the crowd on Saturday during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
"An incident occurred the evening of July 13 at a Trump rally in Pennsylvania. The Secret Service has implemented protective measures and the former President is safe. This is now an active Secret Service investigation and further information will be released when available," said Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi.
Trump later posted a statement on Truth Social that said his right ear had been "pierced" by the shots.
Snipers were able to engage and neutralize the shooter during the chaos as it ensued.
In a statement from the Secret Service, the agency confirmed that the shooter was dead. Additionally, one was fatally shot and two others were in critical condition after the assasination attempt on Trump.
