President Donald Trump said his utterance of the phrase “looting leads to shooting” was meant in reference to people getting shot during riots this week.

“Looting leads to shooting, and that’s why a man was shot and killed in Minneapolis on Wednesday night - or look at what just happened in Louisville with 7 people shot,” Trump said on Twitter Friday.
