President Biden has called for calm after a man was shot and injured at a Trump rally in Las Vegas.
The shooting occurred on Saturday afternoon outside a Trump rally at the Treasure Island Hotel and Casino. A man in his 20s was shot in the chest and taken to hospital in a critical condition.
The suspect, a 29-year-old man, was arrested at the scene. He has been charged with attempted murder and possession of a firearm by a prohibited person.
In a statement, President Biden condemned the violence and called for calm.
This was a senseless act of violence that has no place in our society, Biden said. We must reject the politics of division and hatred that has led to this point.
Biden also urged Americans to come together as a nation to reject violence and hate, and to build a better future for all.
The shooting is the latest in a series of violent incidents at political rallies in recent years.
In 2017, a man was shot and killed at a Trump rally in Portland, Oregon. In 2018, a man was arrested for assaulting a Democratic congressman at a rally in Montana.
The violence has raised concerns about the safety of political rallies and the increasing polarization of American society.
Experts say that the violence is a symptom of the deep divisions in American society.
The violence we are seeing at political rallies is a reflection of the deep divisions in our society, said Dr. James Gilligan, a professor of psychiatry at New York University.
These divisions are based on race, religion, class, and other factors that have been exacerbated by the rise of social media and the 24-hour news cycle.
Gilligan said that the violence is likely to continue until Americans find a way to bridge the divides that separate them.
Here are some tips for staying safe at political rallies:
- Be aware of your surroundings and the people around you.
- If you see something suspicious, report it to the authorities.
- Avoid confrontations with people who have opposing views.
- Leave the rally if you feel unsafe.
