Biden says ‘no place in America for this kind of violence’ and has been calling Trump after shooting

President Joe Biden said every American must condemn political violence after Donald Trump was injured during a shooting at his campaign rally in Pennsylvania.

The former president was rushed from the stage soon after he began to speak, with blood running down his face, by his Secret Service detail who bundled him into a waiting motorcade. Trump’s campaign said that is he “fine” and being “checked out a local medical facility.”

One person was killed at the rally, Butler County District Attorney told AP. Another spectator is in serious condition, according to CNN.

Secret Service agents killed the suspected shooter, who was outside the rally when the shots were fired, according to law enforcement officials. The shooting is being considered an assassination attempt.

Speaking from a convention center at Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, Biden said he has been “thoroughly briefed by all the agencies in the federal government” on the situation and that he’s attempted to get ahold of Trump but had been unsuccessful, because he was “with his doctors.”

Biden said he plans on speaking with Trump’s doctors as well, and said there was “no place in America for this kind of violence.”

“It’s sick,” he said. “It’s sick.”

Biden said the incident at the rally demonstrates one of the reasons why “we have to united this country” and said Americans “cannot allow for this to be happening.”

“We cannot be like this. We cannot condone this,” he said.

“The bottom line is that the Trump rally was a rally that he should have been able to be conducted peacefully, without any problem… the idea that there's political violence or violence in America like this is just unheard of. It's just not appropriate. And we, everybody, everybody must condemn it,” the
