There was a brief scare and commotion at a Trump rally in Reno tonight when the Secret Service heard someone yell “Gun!” Trump was rushed off the stage but returned a short while later. The Secret Service said there was no gun involved.

A BBC reporter later talked to a man who said he was the one at the center of the commotion.

Just spoke to the man at the heart of the Trump scare. He says he had a Republicans against Trump sign and was attacked by the crowd.
