WASHINGTON (AP) – US President Joe Biden led the condemnation after his election rival Donald Trump was wounded in a shooting incident at a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday that also reportedly killed at least one bystander.

Political leaders on both sides of the aisle slammed the violence minutes after the Republican candidate was rushed off stage by the Secret Service, blood running down his face.

“Look, there’s no place in America for this kind of violence,” Biden said in a nationally televised statement at Rehoboth Beach in Delaware. “It’s sick. It’s sick. It’s one of the reasons why we have to unite this country. We cannot allow for this to be happening. We cannot be like this. We cannot condone this.”

Asked if he would characterize the incident as an assassination attempt, he said he had his own opinion, but would wait for more facts to come in first.
