Arizona politicians stunned after Trump bloodied, shooter killed at rally

Arizona officials say they are praying for former President Donald Trump after the Republican presidential candidate was bloodied on stage at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania. 

Loud bangs rang out at Trump’s rally in Butler on Saturday, and the former president appeared to fall to the ground during his speech and was quickly covered by Secret Service agents.

When Trump stood up, he had blood on his face and pumped his fist as he was ushered into a vehicle. 

The former president is “fine” and being evaluated at a medical facility, Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheug said in a statement.

Butler County District Attorney Richard Goldinger told ABC News that the shooter at the Trump rally is dead and so is one bystander.  Goldinger also said there is “possibly a second” bystander dead as well.

“Violence is unacceptable. Law and order must prevail. Mr. President, we stand with you,” Republican Rep. Any Biggs posted on the social media platform X.

Other members of Arizona’s congressional delegation called for prayers for the president. 

“Pray for President Trump,” said Republican Rep. Eli Crane. Rep. Juan Ciscomani and former GOP Gov. Doug Ducey shared similar messages. 

A spokesman for the Secret Service also said that Trump is safe, noting that the incident is “now an active Secret Service investigation.” 

“Pray for our broken country,” said Meghan McCain, the daughter of the late Sen. John McCain.

Kari Lake, a Trump ally and Republican Senate candidate, asked for prayers for the former president.

“They will never stop us,” Lake wrote, accompanied by a photo of Trump with blood on his face.
