Former President Barack Obama condemned the shooting at Donald Trump's rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where Trump sustained a minor injury. Obama stated, "There is absolutely no place for political violence in our democracy. Although we don’t yet know exactly what happened, we should all be relieved that former President Trump wasn’t seriously hurt." The incident left one attendee dead and the gunman was reported killed. Obama urged Americans to recommit to civility and respect in politics, while world leaders like Prime Minister Modi and President Macron also expressed their condolences and denounced the violence.
