The shooter involved in the incident at Donald Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania has been “neutralized,” according to multiple law enforcement sources.

Biden told reporters in an emergency briefing at Rehoboth Beach in Delaware, “There’s no place in America for this kind of violence. It’s sick. It’s sick. It’s one of the reasons why we have to unite this country… We cannot be like this, we cannot condone this.

“The idea that there’s political violence, or violence in America like this, is just unheard of. It’s just not appropriate. Everybody, everybody must condemn it. Everybody.”

He said he hoped to speak with Trump “shortly.”
