LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Reaction from Kentucky to Washington after former President Donald Trump was shot at a Pennsylvania rally.

At least one person was killed, and the suspected shooter is dead, an official said. Trump is “fine” and being treated at a medical facility, per his campaign.

Tonight, all Americans are grateful that President Trump appears to be fine after a despicable attack on a peaceful rally. Violence has no place in our politics. We appreciate the swift work of the Secret Service and other law enforcement.
