Two of the people who were critically injured in the shooting at former President Donald Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday are in stable condition, according to police.
In Butler, Pennsylvania, Trump was struck in the ear by a bullet the FBI says was fired by 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks.
One man, 50-year-old Corey Comperatore of Sarver, Pennsylvania, was killed shielding his family from bullets.
Two others were taken to the hospital to be treated following the attack.
The victims are 57-year-old David Dutch, of New Kensington, and 74-year-old James Copenhaver, of Moon Township.
Trump has authorized a GoFundMe page to aid victims of the assassination attempt.
“President Donald Trump has authorized this account as a place for donations to the supporters and families wounded or killed in today’s brutal and horrific assassination attempt,” the page says. “All donations will be directed to these proud Americans as they grieve and recover. May God bless and unite our nation.”
In a Truth Social post on Sunday morning, Trump said it was God who saved him during the attack and expressed his love for the victims.
“Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and prayers yesterday, as it was God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening. We will FEAR NOT, but instead remain resilient in our Faith and Defiant in the face of Wickedness,” he said.
“Our love goes out to the other victims and their families. We pray for the recovery of those who were wounded and hold in our hearts the memory of the citizen who was so horribly killed. In this moment, it is more important than ever that we stand United, and show our True Character as Americans, remaining Strong and Determined, and not allowing Evil to Win,” he added.
Former GOP candidate, Doug Burgum, and his wife Kathryn donated $2,500 to the GoFundMe page.
American musician Kid Rock shelled out $50,000 to the page on Sunday.
Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, donated $10,000 to the cause and Ben Shapiro contributed $15,000.
A gift of $25,000 was contributed by Happy Dad President, John Shahidi.
Donors have left comments attached to their donations expressing condolences, prayers, and good wishes to the families and President Trump.
As of Sunday, the GoFundMe page had exceeded $3,600,000 in donations.
The FBI continues to investigate the attack and the shooter.
