Republican National Convention will be held as scheduled after Trump rally shooting – Chicago Tribune
Just hours after a shooting at a Trump campaign rally in Pennsylvania, the former presidents aides said that the Republican National Convention will be held in Milwaukee as planned.
Trump looks forward to joining you all in Milwaukee, the campaign said Saturday.
Trump appeared to be the target of an assassination attempt as he spoke during the rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on Saturday.
A local prosecutor said the suspected gunman and at least one attendee are dead. The Secret Service said two spectators were critically injured.
Posting on his Truth Social media site about two and a half hours after the shooting, Trump said a bullet pierced the upper part of my right ear.
I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin, he said in the post. Much bleeding took place, so I realized then what was happening.
The attack, by a shooter who law enforcement officials say was then killed by the Secret Service, was the most serious attempt to assassinate a president or presidential candidate since Ronald Reagan was shot in 1981. It comes amid a deeply polarized political atmosphere, just four months from the presidential elections and days before Trump is to be officially named the Republican nominee athis partys convention.
