Butler, Pa.—The shooting at former President Donald Trump's rally in Pennsylvania is being investigated as an attempted assassination of the former president, according to Butler County District Attorney Richard Goldinger.

One audience member and the gunman are dead after a shooting at former President Donald Trump's rally in Pennsylvania, according to Butler County District Attorney Richard Goldinger.

The shooting happened at about 11:30 a.m. ET at the Butler County Fairgrounds, where Trump was holding a rally. The suspect, identified as 23-year-old David Weiss of Butler, was shot and killed by police after he opened fire on the crowd.

Trump was not injured in the shooting, but one audience member was killed and another was injured. The injured victim is in stable condition at a local hospital.
