Republican candidate Donald Trump was briefly rushed
off the stage by Secret Service agents at a rally in Reno , Nevada
A man holding a sign saying Republicans Against
Trump was tackled by security agents, after shouts that he had a gun.
Mr Trump returned to the stage minutes later.
The Republican candidate says he is going to target
states seen as Democratic strongholds ahead of Tuesday's election.
He is set to visit Pennsylvania ,
Michigan and also Minnesota
Both candidates have been making late changes to
their travel schedules as falling poll numbers for Mrs Clinton in some key
Democratic-leaning states present what the Trump campaign sees as new
opportunities.
On Saturday evening, Mr Trump had stopped speaking
at the Reno
He was grabbed by two agents, who rushed him off
stage, while the protester was held down and searched.
When he resumed his speech, Mr Trump said:
"Nobody said it was going to be easy for us... I want to thank the Secret
Service."
The Secret Service later confirmed that someone in
front of the stage had shouted "gun", but that "upon a thorough
search of the subject and the surrounding area, no weapon was found".
