Trump urges Americans to 'stand united' after assassination attempt | DW News

Former US President Donald Trump has told Americans they need to "stand united," after he was shot and injured at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania.

The FBI is leading the investigation into the incident that it has called an assassination attempt.

Trump was in the town of Butler, Pennsylvania, addressing a crowd at an open-air rally, when gunshots rang out. The Secret Service says the shooter opened fire from the roof of a nearby building. The suspect was less than 150 meters from the stage, on which Trump was speaking.

One spectator was killed, with two others critically injured. The suspected shooter was shot dead as well.
