Biden to address the nation after Trump assassination attempt…..
BETHEL PARK, Pa. – Former President Donald Trump said Sunday that “God alone” had spared him from a brazen assassination attempt, an act of political violence the likes of which America had not seen since an attack on President Ronald Reagan’s life 43 years ago.
Trump, who was recovering after he was injured in the right ear when a sniper opened fire Saturday evening, vowed to press on with this week’s GOP convention in Milwaukee.
One spectator was killed and two others were critically injured when bullets rained down from an AR-15-style rifle from a rooftop about 400 feet outside Trump’s campaign rally at the Butler Farm Show in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Our love goes out to the other victims and their families,” Trump said in a statement on Truth Social on Sunday morning.
“We pray for the recovery of those who were wounded, and hold in our hearts the memory of the citizen who was so horribly killed.”
President Joe Biden called for national unity at a short White House news conference Sunday and said he spoke with Trump briefly on Saturday night and, “I’m sincerely grateful that he’s doing well and recovering.”
Biden also said he would address the nation from the Oval Office on Sunday night.
The FBI identified the gunman as Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, of Bethel Park, outside Pittsburgh.
Crooks was killed by Secret Service agents moments after gunfire erupted at the former president’s rally.
