The Trump campaign just said that the former President and Republican nominee is safe following gunshots in his vicinity.
Steven Cheung, the Trump Campaign Communications Director, said there were "no further details at this time."
It is not clear if the gunshots were another attempt on Trump's life or simply an unlucky encounter.
Trump has already survived one assassination attempt two months ago in a rally at Butler, Pennsylvania, when a would-be assassin named Thomas Matthew Crooks tried and nearly succeeded to kill Trump with a rifle, only to be killed by a Secret Service countersniper.
Corey Comperatore, who attended Trump's rally, was killed by the gunfire.
UPDATE: Law enforcement sources speaking with the New York Post say that the gunshots were people firing at each other rather than Trump, and that the former President himself was never in danger.
