Trump To Rally In Butler

BUTLER, PA — Making good on a pledge he made in July, former President Donald Trump will return next week to where the first of two assassination attempts recently were made against him.

Trump will make a campaign stop in Butler on Oct. 5, NBC News reported. It is unclear where in Butler the rally will be held.

During an interview with Elon Musk on X, Trump elaborated on the pledge he first made on social media. He vowed to go back to Butler to finish his July 13 address that was cut short because of the assassination attempt at the Butler Farm Show grounds.

Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, suffered a wounded ear in the incident in which
three spectators were shot, one fatally.

Former fire chief Corey Comperatore, 50, of Sarver, Butler County, died while shielding his
family from shots fired by Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, of Bethel Park. David Dutch, 57, of New Kensington and James Copenhaven, 74, of Moon were wounded. Crooks was killed by a U.S. Secret
Service agent during the attack.

Authorities said a second assassination attempt occurred Sept. 15 at a Florida golf course where Trump was playing. The alleged attempted assassin, Ryan Routh, was apprehended without firing a shot and has been jailed.
