At the rally in Pennsylvania, the former US President was reported shot at as a barrage of gunshots was heard as he mounted to the podium to address the people.
Secret Service agents swarm the former president after a series of gunshots. He was quickly bundled off stage and into a waiting vehicle and has since returned home to New Jersey.
The FBI say they are treating the incident as an assassination attempt.
In a post to his Truth Social network, Trump said a bullet pierced the “upper part” of his right ear.
Earlier, his spokesperson said he was receiving treatment at a local medical centre.
The FBI statement added that the incident is an “active and ongoing investigation”.
The agency’s spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi said the suspect was shot dead at the scene by US Secret Service officers.
He added that one bystander was killed in the shooting and two others were critically injured.
