Shots rang out at a Donald Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania today as the former President spoke to an enthusiastic crowd.
Authorities say Secret Service agents shot and killed the man who apparently tried to assassinate the 45th President while he stood at the podium. It is believed one person in the crowd was hit by a bullet and died at the scene.
United States Senator Jerry Moran posted his concern for President Trump on his X account Saturday: “Praying for President Trump, everyone who attended the rally and for our country,”
United States Senator Dr. Roger Marshall released the following: “Tonight, we watched in horror as an assassination attempt was made on President Trump. This attack has tragically claimed the life of an innocent American, and was centimeters away from taking the life of the 45th President. We, as a nation, need to pause and grasp the magnitude of this event. There is no place for this violence in civil society. We are praying for President Trump, all of those injured, and the innocent attendee who was killed and their family. Thank you to our law enforcement officers and the secret service agents who eliminated the attacker with swift justice.”
Kansas First District Congressman Tracy Mann tells KSAL News “Audrey and I are praying for President Trump, attendees at his PA rally, and our nation. Hate and violence are not the answer. President Trump’s perseverance is second to none. God speed, Mr. President. We stand with you.”
