President Joe Biden broke his silence on Donald Trump’s assassination attempt after shooting at a rally

Butler County District Attorney Richard Goldfinger said that one person is believed to be dead and ‘maybe another.’

He said the person believed to be dead was ‘the man in the crowd.’

Something happened on the evening of July 13 at a Trump rally in Pennsylvania. The Secret Service has put protective measures in place and the former President is safe. This is currently an active Secret Service investigation and more information will be released as it becomes available.

Attendees at the rally reportedly heard Secret Service agents say ‘the shooter is down’ after swarming the stage to come to the former president’s side.

Sources told the Associated Press that the shooting at a Trump rally in Pennsylvania was an ‘assassination attempt’ on the former president.

An emergency room doctor at a Trump rally told how he performed CPR on the crowd after the shooting.

‘I heard a shot. I thought it was fireworks to begin with. Someone was screaming, he was shot,” the man said. ‘So I came over. I said I’m an emergency doctor. Let me help you.’

‘This rolling man got stuck between the pews and was shot here. There was a lot of blood and he had brain problems,” he told CBS News.

‘So I gathered them together so I asked the people there to be very helpful. Definitely one of the CPR compressions too.’

Former President George W. Bush and First Lady Laura Bush sent a statement through spokesman Freddy Ford condemning the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump:

PA Senate candidate Dave McCormick, who stood in the front row of the rally:

President Trump just announced the end of this war. Then he didn’t know how to get up in a minute or two. Then there were several shots. And the crowd just, you know, went underground and the Secret Service came in, you know, very quickly dealt with the president.

But, but there are separate shots and then what they think is hard to say whether they come from one direction or from two different weapons. Not clear, at least I can’t tell. And, then, sadly, the man behind the bleachers must have been injured.

And there was a lot of blood and, you know, the police came and helped the guy out of the stadium so he could get the treatment he needed. I’m not sure if anyone else was injured or not. It’s everything you can imagine, very chaotic. But it was a very scary moment, obviously because

Donald Trump wore a bulletproof vest while campaigning in 2016.

He began taking precautions after someone rushed the stage at one of his Ohio rallies.

It is not clear if he is currently wearing it.

Ronald Reagan was the last president to face an assassination attempt before being shot at by Donald Trump during a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday.

While leaving the Hilton Hotel in Washington, DC on March 30, 1981, Reagan was shot multiple times and wounded when a bullet ricocheted from his vehicle and struck him in the left armpit.

Then-President Reagan spent 12 days at George Washington University Hospital before returning to the White House.

Trump, while not the US president, was the first to face an assassination attempt since that day in 1981.

The former president and this year’s presumptive Republican presidential candidate spoke at a rally in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on Saturday when several pops were heard before Trump grabbed his ear and hid at the podium.

Immediately before the shooting, Trump spoke about immigration comparing his record with Joe BIden.

‘If you really want to see this sad, look at what happened,’ he said just before a shot hit the crowd, hitting him in the right ear.

Marco Rubio, one of the favorites to be Trump’s running mate, thanked God for protecting the former president.

Trump may no longer be president, but he is surrounded by a security cordon that deems him still high risk.

There is no background screening for an event that can be attended by tens of thousands.

But all rallygoers are screened at the door for weapons, projectiles or other things that can cause a threat. Secret Service agents, often assisted by local law enforcement agencies and even the TSA, operate airport-style magnetometers.

Pockets must be emptied, hats removed. Bags are searched by hand.

Sniffer dogs nose through media equipment cases and reporter laptop bags.

The list of prohibited items is long: From fireworks and firearms to coolers and e-cigarettes. Pretty much everything can be blown up, thrown or used as a weapon.

Former Secret Service agent Jonathan Wackrow said:

It must have sounded like a gunshot.

The Secret Service agent rushed in and did what he was trained to do, which was to give maximum attention to those he was protecting.

This should be the start of Donald Trump’s big week. After allowing Joe Biden to step into the spotlight as he faces the biggest crisis of his political life, a rally in Pennsylvania is meant to mark the unofficial start of the Republican convention when he officially becomes the party’s nominee.

That was all reversed in a split second there. People screamed as the sound of gunfire echoed through the fairgrounds. Trump put his right hand to his head, and more gunshots could be heard.

Secret Service agents rushed to the stage to protect the former president with his body.

Another volley of bullets could be heard, before shouting ‘Shooter down.’ Then Trump stood up, his face bloody, and raised his fist in the air before hustling away.

A Trump insider told DailyMail.com: ‘He’s OK.’

Prayers came for former President Trump after he was seen with blood on his face after the shooting that took place at a Pennsylvania rally on Saturday afternoon.

Rep. Dan Meuser, R-Pa., stood front row at the rally along with Reps. Mike Kelly and GOP Senate candidate Dave McCormick.

Meuser said he heard between eight and 10 gunshots, according to Fox News.

Witnesses said they heard people yelling ‘Shooter down’ as Trump was ushered off the stage by Secret Service agents.

A volley of shots can be heard during the attack.

Trump’s motorcade has left the venue. His condition was not immediately known. Police began evacuating the exhibition grounds shortly after the former president left the stage.

President Joe Biden left a church service in Delawae moments after reports that Trump had been shot.

He said he had not been briefed on the shooting.

Donald Trump appeared to be shot in the ear during a shot at the former president at a rally in Pennsylvania.

Trump grabbed the side of his face and blood splattered on his cheek as several popping sounds were heard.

The former president quickly pumped his fists into the crowd to show his supporters that he was not seriously injured, as Secret Service agents rushed to the stage to escape.
