A shooter at former President Donald Trump’s rally Saturday in Butler, Pennsylvania, is dead, ABC News reported, citing Butler County District Attorney Richard A. Goldinger.
Goldinger added that one bystander is “confirmed dead” and “possibly a second” bystander is dead as well, the network noted. CNN reported the shooter was “neutralized,” citing numerous law enforcement sources.
‘President Trump thanks law enforcement and first responders for their quick action during this heinous act,’ Trump’s campaign said.
Video caught the moment Trump reached to his right ear while he was speaking, after which he ducked down and Secret Service agents surrounded him and took him off stage.
Secret Service confirmed that Trump is safe.
Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung said in a statement, “President Trump thanks law enforcement and first responders for their quick action during this heinous act. He is fine and is being checked out at a local medical facility. More details will follow.”
