    Several shots fired at Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania during his rally (per CNN).
    He was rushed off stage bleeding from the top of his ear by the Secret Service.
    Shooter identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks and killed by Secret Service.
    One attendee (fireman) was shot dead, two also now in serious condition.

    Looked like blood in his right air, perhaps grazed

    Saw some blood on his right ear but he was walking and shaking his fist in the air so not gravely injured (?)

    If I wanted to defeat Trump I would ignore him. He is a brawler - to keep going after him in the courts, possibly shooting at him, etc. will simply fuel his fire and motivate his supporters. He lives (no joke intended) for notoriety and having things be about HIM. There are idiots on all sides of the political aisle. Hopefully this person or persons is found and prosecuted appropriately

    Where did you see that 8 to 10 shots were fired? I am watching the news and haven’t seen that reported. As for your second sentence, you might want to keep your mouth shot for until it’s determined what happened.

    According to these people, when violence happens against Democrats, it’s Trump’s fault… and when violence happens against Trump himself, it’s Trump’s fault.

    People like this do not deserve a shred of credibility.

    This is horrible regardless of what you think about Trump. This is becoming very ugly for this country.

    This is how we should all feel. Nothing else should be said. This is bad for our country no matter what side you’re on.
