The U.S. Secret Service released the following statement: “This evening at approximately 9:05pm (EST), at a Presidential Nominee Trump rally in Reno, Nevada, Mr. Trump was removed from the stage by his Secret Service protective detail after a commotion occurred in the crowd. Immediately in front of the stage, an unidentified individual shouted ‘gun.’ Secret Service agents and Reno Police Officers immediately apprehended the subject. Upon a thorough search of the subject and the surrounding area, no weapon was found.”
OP, not sure why you're rehashing an incident from 2016. But in any case, are you implying that Trump was a coward? What did you expect him to do, leap from the stage into the audience and single-handedly wrestle the (non-existent) gun out of the guy's hand? That's not the way it works, and I'm sure you know that. The only sane response is exactly what happened: have law enforcement protect the President (or, in this case, the nominee for President) and also disarm the potential shooter.

Why are we just now hearing about it? I don’t remember it..
The article that you linked is dated November 5, 2016. So yes, this event WAS publicized at the time that it happened. I remember it when it happened.
