No place in America for violence, says Prez Biden after attack on Trump
US President Joe Biden on Saturday condemned the life-threatening attack on his Republican rival and predecessor Donald Trump and said there is no place for this kind of violence in America.
Delivering remarks to the press at his Rehoboth Beach house in Delaware, Biden said he tried to get in touch with Trump, who is now with the doctors and seems to be doing well.
Trump got injured during his election rally in Butler, Pennsylvania following an apparent series of gunshots. He was immediately escorted out of the venue by the US Secret Service.
Law enforcement officials said the Secret Service shot dead the suspected shooter at the election venue. One person has died in the incident.
According to CNN, law enforcement agencies are treating the incident as an assassination attempt. It is not immediately clear what type of weapon was used by the shooter.
There's no place in America for this kind of violence, Biden said. It's sick and one of the reasons why we have to unite this country
