PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) -- Reaction was swift to the apparent shooting at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania that injured former President Donald Trump and left two others dead -- the suspected gunman and a rally-goer.

“President Trump thanks law enforcement and first responders for their quick action during this heinous act,” spokesman Steven Cheung said in a statement. “He is fine and is being checked out at a local medical facility. More details will follow.”

The Secret Service said in a statement that “the former President is safe.”
