Sunday, July 28, 2024 - Former US President Donald Trump has said that he will hold a “big and beautiful” rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, marking a return to the town where he survived an assassination attempt just two weeks ago.
Trump, 78, plans to honor hero firefighter Corey Comperatore, who was killed in the July 13 shooting, as well as the two rallygoers, James Copenhaver and David Dutch, who were seriously injured.
“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,” the Republican presidential nominee wrote on Truth Social.
Trump was wounded in the ear when Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire from a nearby roof.
A motive for the shooting is still unknown, but the director of the Secret Service resigned earlier this week amid scrutiny of safety lapses related to the incident.
