The alleged shooter was killed, the AP reports. As many as two other bystanders are dead, reports ABC News.
We have a local reaction coming in.
“Moments like these test a nation. It’s vital we pull together and strengthen local community bonds when so much hatred and anger is overtaking the presidential election. I’m grateful to see President Trump emerge safely, and pray for the United States of America.”
-Stephen Kent, candidate, Manassas City Council
“This is a sad day for America. Trump has proven himself a brave man. He will not back down. He lives to fight for America another day. My heart goes out to the other victims of this assassin. Through this horrible event may America become more tolerant for each other,”
-Xiao-Yin “Tang” Byrom, candidate, Manassas Mayor
“Praying for President Trump, his family, those injured, those in attendance, our brave secret service, and our country. Hearing the shots and seeing the images on the news is surreal.”
-Lynn Forkell Greene, candidate, Manassas City Council
I’m deeply concerned by this situation and am praying for President Trump and everyone at today’s event.

There is no place for political violence in a democracy. I’m monitoring this terrible situation and praying for all those at the Pennsylvania rally.

Absolutely appalling.

Political violence is unequivocally wrong and only leads to more violence, all of which undermines the very essence of representative democracy. We must all condemn it without exception.

Travel to French soil and join us for a night filled with two of the most beloved French traditions—no plane ticket required! ?
On January 25th, we invite you to experience the magic of Galette des Rois, a 700-year-old tradition celebrated across France throughout the entire month of January (and even beyond!). This sweet, almond-filled puff pastry topped with a golden crown isn’t just a treat—it’s a celebration! The lucky person who finds the fève (a porcelain charm hidden in one of the slices) becomes the King or Queen for the Day, and don’t worry—there will be plenty of royalty to go around! ??
But that’s not all! In France, Les Voeux (New Year’s wishes) continue throughout January, often accompanied by Champagne and good cheer. We’re bringing that festive spirit to you, with a lively evening packed with French food, wine, and music.
