The shooter is dead and at least one, maybe two, members of the audience are dead. This is from the local DA and the news is reporting it right now.

I am against violence.
I wonder how much money he will raise off of this ("the deep state wants me dead").
It certainly won't hurt his campaign.I am against violence.

I'm sure he will; it's not in his interest as a political opponent, US president, and individual at the top of responsibility for the security of former presidents & current candidates not to do so.Biden should come out quickly and condemn this violence, and strongly condemn it.
Still crickets. RFJ Jr gave his statement at least 10 minutes ago. It doesn't take that long to say something. Even Bush Jr has put out a statement supporting the Secret Service for their fast response.I'm sure he will; it's not in his interest as a political opponent, US president, and individual at the top of responsibility for the security of former presidents & current candidates not to do so.
I hope the president says something soon. I am guessing he will today.This is an extremely dangerous precedent, especially considering how polarized American politics currently is.
Biden should be quick to condemn it if he wants to contain the situation before it has a chance of getting further out of hand.
I am not happy at all with this. If Trump had died in his sleep from natural causes I would breathe a sigh of relief, but assassination is never an answer.
Let's be real here - there's more or less no chance this will not get more out of hand.This is an extremely dangerous precedent, especially considering how polarized American politics currently is.

Such a dark thread, but you made me burst out laughing with this. Thanks. It's been a hard day.Shh, Biden is taking a nap.

Biden will do the honorable thing because that's just his character, but it won't... well, in most respects it won't matter. This is a country that has routinely failed to bother passing even the most common sense and elementary regulation of firearms - which enables things like this to happen. This is a country where one of the political parties has basically committed to refusing to acknowledge the results of elections and the peaceful transition of power if they don't win. And scholars have already acknowledge a disturbing trend that tragic events no longer unite the nation like they used to. This will get worse before it gets better.
Americans used to unite over tragic events − and now are divided by them
Public tragedies are heartrending events that gain widespread public attention. But where once prominent tragedies often brought Americans together, such tragedies no longer unify the country.theconversation.com
Frankly I would prefer that Biden's too busy right now dealing with this attempted assassination - briefings & updates from Secret Service, etc. than to be worrying about making some sort of superficial statement. Then, after everything has been solved & answered, he and his PR team can focus on making statements.Still crickets. RFJ Jr gave his statement at least 10 minutes ago.

Do you really think what just happened was related to there not being "even the most common sense and elementary regulation of firearms"?Let's be real here - there's more or less no chance this will not get more out of hand.

Biden won't make any statement until his handlers get it typed up on the teleprompter first.Frankly I would prefer that Biden's too busy right now dealing with this attempted assassination - briefings & updates from Secret Service, etc. than to be worrying about making some sort of superficial statement. Then, after everything has been solved & answered, he and his PR team can focus on making statements.
Right now we have no idea what's going on; is it just a crazy Trump hater, or is something bigger going on, etc.
I'm speaking as someone who has no desire to vote for Biden & I voted for Trump in the last 2 elections.
Hopefully notI feel like America has descended into an abyss from which it may not be able to climb out.
