Excitement turned into horror after gunfire erupted at former President Donald Trump’s July 13 rally, followed by sorrow for those who were shot, relief that Trump survived, and endless questions over security failures.

Now, nearly three months after that failed assassination attempt, Trump and thousands of rallygoers will reconvene Oct. 5 at the Butler Farm Show grounds in Butler Township, Pennsylvania. That’s where bystander Corey Comperatore, 50, was killed as he shielded his family, and three others, including Trump, were wounded before a Secret Service sniper killed the suspected gunman.
