“Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of the deceased, those injured and the American people,” he added.
Trump was shot at while he was speaking at a campaign rally on Saturday. The 78-year-old has said the bullet pierced his right ear. Visuals from the rally showed security officials rushing him off the stage, blood across his face. Multiple rounds were fired by the shooter who is yet to be identified. A bystander was killed and two others critically injured.
