Schumer, Walz Condemn Shooting
Top Democrats condemned what appears to be a second attempt on former President Donald Trump’s life in public statements. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Sunday evening said he had been briefed on the incident, and expressed gratitude to law enforcement. “I was just briefed by the Acting Director of the Secret Service,” Schumer said in a post on X. “I applaud the Secret Service for their quick response to ensure former President Trump’s safety.” “There is no place in this country for political violence of any kind,” Schumer said. “The perpetrator must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.” Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Vice President Kamala Harris’s running mate, also condemned the incident. Walz said he is “glad” to hear that the former president is safe. “Violence has no place in our country,” he wrote in a post on X. “It’s not who we are as a nation.” Walz’s comments were made after an earlier statement by Harris, who said she had been briefed on the incident and likewise expressed gratitude that Trump was safe. The suspect, who has not yet been identified, is currently in the custody of Florida’s Martin County Police Department. Local prosecutors are working on state-level warrant and pretrial detention applications, but officials say federal charges are also possible. The FBI has said that the incident “appears to be” a second attempt on Trump’s life, but the suspect’s identity and motives for the attack remain unclear.
