Watch live: President Biden speaks Sunday on Trump rally shooting, assassination attempt
President Joe Biden is scheduled to address the media at 1:30 p.m. ET Sunday following the shooting and assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on Saturday that left one dead and 3 injured, including Trump.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation identified the gunman as Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20. Crooks was killed at the scene and an investigation into Crook's motive is ongoing.
Biden called the attack "sick" in an emergency press conference in Delaware Saturday and called his Republican opponent Saturday night. "The idea – the idea – that there’s political violence, or violence in America like this, is just unheard of, it’s just not appropriate. Everybody, every must condemn it," Biden said.
