Butler County District Attorney Richard Goldinger has announced that two people are dead at former President Donald Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania, including the apparent shooter.

The shooter has not been formally identified at time of publishing.

Trump appeared to have been grazed by at least one bullet but was alert and transported to a medical facility, where he is said to be safe and in stable condition.

During CNN’s live broadcast from the rally, a Secret Service agent could be heard on a mic saying, “The shooter is down.”

Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said the former president “is fine” and being evaluated.

“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,” Cheung said in a statement.

This is a breaking news incident and Gateway Pundit will continue to provide updates as they become available.

In the wake of a distressing assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, Barack Obama quickly issued a statement.

During Trump’s campaign rally, the event descended into chaos when apparent gunshots rang out. Trump was seen reaching toward his neck, with blood visible on his face, before being swiftly escorted off the stage by Secret Service agents. The Secret Service quickly implemented protective measures to ensure Trump’s safety.

“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.”

The Secret Service said, “The former President is safe.”

Obama releases the following statement:

“There is absolutely no place for political violence in our democracy. Although we don’t yet know exactly what happened, we should all be relieved that former President Trump wasn’t seriously hurt, and use this moment to recommit ourselves to civility and respect in our politics. Michelle and I are wishing him a quick recovery.”

However, the statement has sparked a fierce backlash on social media, with some users attributing the cause of the incident to Obama.

The violent rhetoric of the left, specifically from Joe Biden, are to blame for the assassination attempt on President Trump.

Shame on Biden and on the Democrat politicians who’ve been escalating tensions with their divisiveness.

Trump will win in November and save America.

This is a developing story.

BUTLER, PENNSYLVANIA — The former President Donald Trump was shot and injured at a Saturday rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Trump, face bloodied by an apparent nick to the ear, was immediately rushed by Secret Service officers and taken from the stage. He pumped his fist to the audience as he was removed.

Law enforcement moved swiftly to place crime-scene tape, and attendees were pushed toward the exits whence they came, where paraphernalia vendors continued to hawk Trump-themed wares.

A helicopter, possibly medical, landed on the field behind the venue minutes after the shooting and left shortly afterward. Two individuals were seen being loaded into an ambulance.

The Trump campaign released a statement thanking law enforcement and saying that the former president was “fine.”

Rally attendees report seeing two assailants, one shooting from the treeline at the rally site, another rushing the stage with a handgun. Some eyewitnesses allege that the former, who got off shots, was immediately taken out by a rooftop law-enforcement sniper. The latter was apparently tackled by on-the-ground police enforcement.

The shooter is reportedly dead.

Supporters wept freely, and many formed prayer circles to request the aid of the Almighty on behalf of the former president.

On social media, users reacted with astonishment and dismay, with many voicing their support for Trump.

The post BREAKING: Trump Shot at PA Rally appeared first on The American Conservative.

Sen. Rand Paul has insisted he is too busy to attend the Republican National Convention, raising concerns over his refusal to endorse Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.

According to a report from Axios, Paul has confirmed he will not be attending the convention in Milwaukee this month.

“I’m busy,” he said when asked for an explanation as to why he wouldn’t be there.

Other Senators not attending the event include RINOs Mitt Romney of Utah, Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, all of whom have confirmed they are not voting for the former president.

Paul’s refusal to attend the convention is all the more suspicious given his refusal to endorse Donald Trump over Joe Biden or his potential replacement.

Even Mitch McConnell, Paul’s fellow senator from Kentucky and a widely unpopular figure among the grassroots, has endorsed Donald Trump and will speak at the convention in support of his campaign.

Axios suggests that his refusal may be linked to a growing rift between Paul and Trump, amid reports that he was not incredibly happy with the levels of spending under the previous administration.

This reportedly included a “heated exchange with top Trump ally Russell Vought during a recent closed-door meeting,” where Paul argued he had “no credibility” on the issue.

He is also said to have a close relationship with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is running as an independent candidate on a left-wing, anti-establishment platform. However, it is unclear whether he would consider supporting his campaign.

There is, of course, a long time between now and November where one can expect Paul to come to his senses. Back in 2016, Trump’s main primary opponent Ted Cruz withheld his endorsement until September, although the two men eventually became close allies over the course of his administration.
