Are they trying to label it an assassination attempt because a gunman was in the vicinity? Trueblue Texan Monday #1

Excellent point! And they're now comparing this to actual assassination attempts on sitting presidents Reagan and Ford! Rhiannon12866 Monday #2

If so, then just setting foot in a state like Texas could be considered an attempt where everybody open carries.

I'm so sick of the violence. It's crazy and leaders and anyone with a platform should immediately call for it to STOP.

No shots were fired, no one was injured and this would have no effect on the presidency or the federal government.
