Former President Donald J. Trump announced on Friday that he will be returning to Butler, Pennsylvania, to hold a rally in honor of those who were killed or injured at his rally in the same town on July 13th. During the shooting, Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire on the crowd, hitting Trump in the ear, injuring two others, and killing former fire chief Corey Comperatore, who heroically shielded his family from the gunfire.

“I will be going back to Butler, Pennsylvania, for a big and beautiful rally, honoring the soul of our beloved firefighting hero, Corey, and those brave patriots injured two weeks ago. What a day it will be — Fight, fight, fight! Stay tuned for details,” Trump wrote.  Crooks began shooting mere minutes after Trump took the stage.
