Trump injured and spectator dead after shooting at Pennsylvania rally; shooter is dead

 

Former President Donald Trump had blood on his ear and pumped his fist as he left the stage. His campaign said he is "fine" and Secret Service said he is "safe

Shots were fired from outside the security perimeter for the venue established by the U.S. Secret Service, three senior law enforcement sources said.

The shooting at the stage took place from a position outside the venue and their security measures, the sources told NBC News.

The assertion could answer a question that quickly emerged following the violence — namely how a gunman got a firearm past security and its gun-detecting magnetometers. In this view, they apparently didn't.

 Vice President Kamala Harris said she and her husband Doug Emhoff were "relieved" that Trump is not seriously injured.

 "We are praying for him, his family, and all those who have been injured and impacted by this senseless shooting," Harris said in a statement.

"Violence such as this has no place in our nation. We must all condemn this abhorrent act and do our part to ensure that it does not lead to more violence," she said.
