“Yesterday’s shooting at Donald Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania calls on all of us to take a step back. Take stock of where we are, how we go forward from here,” Biden said. “Thankfully, former Trump is not seriously injured. I spoke with him last night. I’m grateful he’s doing well.”
“We also extend our deepest condolences to the family of the victim who was killed,” Biden added. “Corey was a husband, father, volunteer firefighter, a hero sheltering his family from bullets. We should all hold his family and all those injured in our prayers.”
Biden continued to state that the motive of the alleged gunman, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, is still unknown.
“We don’t know his opinions or affiliations. We don’t know whether he had help or support, or if he communicated with anyone else,” Biden said. “Tonight, I want to speak to what we do know. A former president was shot. An American citizen killed, while simply exercising his freedom to support the candidate of his choosing. We cannot, we must not go down this road in America.”
