In a shocking turn of events, a shooting broke out at a Donald Trump rally in Reno, Nevada, leaving one person dead and several others injured. The incident occurred as Trump was wrapping up his speech at the Reno-Sparks Convention Center, sending attendees running for cover.
According to eyewitnesses, a man dressed in black entered the convention center around 5:45 pm local time and began shooting before being taken down by security. The shooter's motives are still unclear, but authorities have confirmed that the incident was not related to terrorism.
The victim has been identified as a 56-year-old man from California, who died at the hospital shortly after being transported. The injured victims have been taken to local hospitals and are receiving treatment.
"This is a very sad day for our country," Trump said in a statement shortly after the incident. "We will do everything in our power to ensure the safety of our citizens and those attending my rallies."
The FBI and local law enforcement agencies are investigating the shooting, with multiple witnesses describing the chaos that ensued. "I was just trying to get out of there as fast as I could," said one attendee. "I didn't see what happened, but I heard the shots being fired."
As the investigation continues, questions are being raised about security measures at the rally. Critics are pointing to previous incidents at Trump rallies, including reports of violence and intimidation, as evidence of a broader pattern of behavior.
What's Next?
As the nation grapples with this senseless tragedy, many are left wondering what comes next. Will Trump's campaign continue uninterrupted? Will calls for stricter gun control measures gain traction?
