Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds released a statement this (Saturday) evening following an attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump during a political rally in rural Pennsylvania. Reynolds says, “This assassination attempt on a former president, current nominee for president, and leader of the Republican Party marks a dark day in American history. Kevin and I are grateful that President Trump is safe and is doing well. We will continue to pray for him and his family, as well as those who were shot and the family of the individual who was killed. As President Trump showed when he walked off the stage, we will not cower to such terror. I will be in Milwaukee this week and will proudly stand with him and our party. America will get through this, together, and President Trump will lead us into the next four years.” The U.S. Secret Service did confirm the attempted assassination in an official statement, saying an as-of-yet unidentified shooter fired multiple shots toward the stage that Trump was speaking from during a rally with supporters. One spectator was killed and two spectators were critically injured in the incident.
