Secret Service Chief of Communications Anthony Guglielmi said in a statement the suspected shooter fired 'multiple shots toward the stage' at former President Trump's Pennsylvania rally. One spectator was killed and two were critically injured. Ivanka Trump posted on social media thanking the public for love and prayers for her father.
Conspiracy theories, false claims and unsupported assertions exploded online Saturday after Donald Trump was injured in what is being investigated as an assassination attempt during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania. Wild theories about the attack, ranging from speculation about who the shooter was to claims about whether or not incident was pre-planned, quickly accumulated millions of views on social media.
The posts included a photo of a man in sunglasses and a black hat alleging it was a screenshot from a video posted to YouTube before the attack in which the man claimed “justice was coming.” That was all false. The posts were shared by verified accounts on X. One popular verified account, Wall Street Silver, which is known to spread misinformation, posted the claim to 1.3 million followers and later deleted it without explanation.
