Trump rally shooting: RNC Milwaukee, delegates feel ripple effect
Trump rally shooting days before RNC
Former President Donald Trump was injured in a shooting at his Pennsylvania rally days before the RNC. FOX6’s Jason Calvi provides a convention update.
MILWAUKEE – Former President Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee for president, was wounded Saturday in what law enforcement is investigating as an assassination attempt at his Pennsylvania rally.
In a statement on social media, Trump said he was “shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear.” He still plans to attend the Republican National Convention.
“I think it’s pretty awful. I’m glad he’s OK,” said Wisconsin resident Christian Walters. “I think there’s no room for that in any of our politics, regardless of where anybody stands. I was really pleased to see previous presidents of both parties come out and condemn this.”

How Trump rally shooting could impact campaign
UW-Milwaukee Professor Emeritus Mordecai Lee explains how Saturday’s shooting at a Pennsylvania Trump rally could impact the RNC, campaign and election.
What it means for the RNC
With the RNC days away in Milwaukee, will the event or security plans change? The stage is already set inside Fiserv Forum.
“I was shocked, I was saddened that our politics have come to this in our country,” said Milwaukee resident Kate Lewis. “We want our city to be represented as the great city that it is when the entire world is watching us, and to have this happen on the eve of the convention here is troubling.”
The RNC and the Trump campaign said: “President Trump looks forward to joining you all in Milwaukee as we proceed with our convention.”
Republican Party leaders picked Milwaukee to host the convention more than 700 days ago, and the security plan has been in the works for more than a year. The Secret Service said everything has been considered – including radiological and biological threats.
Trump rally shooting, Wisconsin delegate reacts
FOX6 spoke to a Wisconsin delegate ahead of the Republican National Convention following news of a shooting at a Trump rally in Pennsylvania.
Delegates react
Delegates are already converging on Milwaukee. Those who spoke to FOX6 News were shocked and expecting the events in Pennsylvania will bring heightened security to the RNC.
“I think people are going to be more attuned, looking around, not feeling so safe anymore,” said Wisconsin delegate Patty Reiman, who told FOX6 she was in the middle of a foreign press interview when she learned about the shooting.
“There is no excuse for what we are witnessing today on July 13, and this will go down in history,” she added.
A Pennsylvania delegate who is already in Milwaukee said the shooting has put a somber mood over the RNC.

Judge Michelle Havas sentenced Gladney to 29 years in prison on Friday, April 17. He was granted credit for more than a year’s time served and further sentenced to 14 years of extended supervision.
Arrested in Arizona after years on the run, court records show Gladney has also been ordered to pay the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office more than $1,800 for extradition costs.
Homicide investigation
The backstory:
The shooting happened in May 2020. Investigators said Gladney was captured on video apparently arguing with the victim, his cousin, outside a Milwaukee convenience store near 21st and Meinecke.
“It’s all on video, and it’s devastating for that family,” the marshal on the case told FOX6 when Gladney was profiled on Wisconsin’s Most Wanted. “You have a family member that shot and killed another family member.”

Prosecutors said Gladney walked away but then returned with a gun pointed directly at the victim and shot him. The victim died from his gunshot wounds at a nearby hospital. Multiple bullet casings were found at the scene.
Gladney went on the run for years. He was arrested in Arizona in January 2023, years after he was charged.
