Donald Trump was rushed off the stage by Secret Service agents at a campaign rally in Reno, Nevada, Saturday evening without immediate explanation.
Several minutes later, an individual was removed from the crowd. Then, Trump reappeared and thanked the agents involved for their swift action. "Nobody said it was going to be easy for us," he said. "But we will never be stopped. Never, ever be stopped."
Initial reports suggested the man who was removed had a gun in hand, but the Department of Homeland Security soon confirmed he actually had a sign. That man, described as white and middle-aged, was held and questioned in a bathroom at the event location.
The Trump campaign later posted a statement on the incident:
