There was an apparent attempt to shoot Donald Trump at his campaign event in Butler, PA tonight.

The Secret Service spox has released this statement.

I condemn political violence, and I call for better control on dangerous weapons. I am grateful that Trump was not badly injured.

There is already far too much disinformation and polarized reaction to this event. Because I don’t want this site to be a part of either (and because we don’t have the resources to track comments closely), I’m setting this post not to accept comments.

It will take some time to have a better understanding of this event. Please allow that to happen.

President Biden issued this statement.
