Trump Shooting must unite America

Saturday’s assassination attempt on Donald Trump has provoked a gamut of reactions. Shock, horror, and grief for the victims top the list.

Corey Comperatore, former fire chief of Buffalo Township, was shot and killed as he shielded his wife and daughters from the would-be assassin’s bullets. Two other unnamed individuals were critically wounded in the attack. To all of them, the world has extended sympathy and support.
