Thousands of supporters returned to Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday to rally around Donald Trump at the same site where a gunman tried to assassinate him in July
Kelly Comperatore-Meeder, left, and Dawn Comperatore-Schafer, sisters of firefighter Corey Comperatore, who died as he shielded family members from gunfire, cry at a campaign event for Republican presidential nominee former President Donald Trump, at the Butler Farm Show, the site where a gunman tried to assassinate Trump in July, Saturday, Oct. 5, 2024, in Butler, Pa.
Trump's campaign predicted that tens of thousands would attend the event, billed as a “tribute to the American spirit," and hundreds were lining up as the sun rose.
A visibly heightened security presence surrounded the site, with men in camouflage uniforms stationed on roofs with large guns. The building from which shots were fired in July was completely obscured by tractor-trailers, a large grassy perimeter and a fence, featuring Trump’s image from the previous rally. Other tweaks included most bleacher seats being arranged at the sides, rather behind the stage.
