Former President Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, yesterday evening. Gunshots were fired as Trump took the stage, with one bullet grazing his ear. He was quickly ushered off stage by Secret Service agents and was unharmed.
President Joe Biden spoke to Trump shortly after the incident, expressing relief that his Republican opponent was "doing well" and condemning the violence. Biden also contacted Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro and Butler Mayor Bob Dandoy, emphasizing the need for unity and the condemnation of political violence.
The shooter, identified as James Thompson, was apprehended by law enforcement. One rally attendee and the shooter died in the incident.
The FBI and local authorities are investigating, and increased security measures are expected at future events.
