US Presidential Elections 2016: Donald Trump rushed off stage in Nevada rally by Secret Service agents

No weapon found at Trump’s Nevada event: Secret Service

Moments later, the man was escorted by police away with his hands behind his back. Trump, seemingly unruffled, returned to the stage and continued his campaign speech.

“Nobody said it was going to be easy for us,” he said. “But we will never be stopped.”

The incident began when Trump noticed what he considered a heckler, saying it was someone “from the Hillary Clinton campaign.” A few seconds later people near the stage began pointing at someone in the crowd near the front.

Then agents took Trump away. A CNN reporter at the event who spoke to witnesses to the incident said no one saw a weapon.

In a statement, Trump thanked the Secret Service, Reno and Nevada law enforcement for “their fast and professional response.”

He later tweeted out thanking Nevada and pledging to make America ‘great and safe’ again.

Thank you Reno, Nevada.
NOTHING will stop us in our quest to MAKE AMERICA SAFE AND GREAT AGAIN! #AmericaFirsthttps://t.co/N8EFAQDhnt pic.twitter.com/OoM3hsDWS1

The incident occurred as Clinton and Trump make their closing arguments to American voters, crisscrossing the United States in hopes of winning over last-minute undecided voters and rallying their bases to turn out enthusiastically on Election Day.
