Former President Donald Trump was speaking at his final rally before the Republican National Convention begins Monday .
The gunman, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks , was found on the roof of a building outside the rally security perimeter.
The incident is being investigated as an assassination attempt.
It is the first time since 1981 , when John Hinckley Jr. tried to assassinate Ronald Reagan .
The former president was scheduled to go on stage about 5 p.m. ET , but he was running late.
Trump circled the stage as Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the USA” began blaring.
“You don’t mind if I go off teleprompter, do you?” he asked the crowd to cheers.
The former president was taken to a local hospital from the site, with the world watching on whether he had been seriously hurt.
Trump raised his fist three times before he was carried down the stairs and into his SUV several feet away.
One rally attendee was killed by the shots, and another two were critically injured, law enforcement said.
