Former President Trump said Friday he intends to return to Butler, Pa., for another campaign rally after his event there earlier this month was cut short by an assassination attempt that left one attendee dead.
"I will be going back to Butler, Pennsylvania for a big and beautiful rally, honoring the soul of our beloved firefighting hero, Corey, and those brave patriots injured two weeks ago. What a day it will be — fight, fight fight! Stay tuned for details," Trump wrote.
It's unclear when or where the rally will take place. The Secret Service, which has come under scrutiny in the wake of the Butler rally, has urged Trump and his team against holding outdoor rallies following the shooting.
Trump held an outdoor rally in Butler on July 13. He was on stage for just a short time before gunshots rang out.
Corey Comperatore, a former fire chief, was killed in the shooting. An online fundraiser promoted by Trump and his allies in honor of Comperatore and two others wounded in the shooting raised more than $6 million.
The gunman, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was also killed.
Trump was grazed in the shooting and emerged from the stage with his ear bloodied. He pumped his fist and yelled "fight!" to the audience as he was hustled away by the Secret Service.
Trump has held multiple campaign events since the shooting, including one in Michigan and one in North Carolina. He has one scheduled for Saturday in Minnesota and next week in Harrisburg, Pa. The former president has worn a bandage over his ear where he was shot at each of his public appearances since the Butler rally.
