Donald Trump rally shooting updates — Video shows RNC security as former president to speak after assassination attempt

SECURITY is ramped up at the Republican National Convention (RNC) as Donald Trump is set to give his first public speech this week after a gunman attempted to assassinate him at his rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday.

Footage of the RNC in Milwaukee shows miles of barricades, steel fencing, and armed cops and checkpoints for the event, which saw Trump announced as the Republican Party’s nominee Monday.

Trump’s pick for vice president was also revealed to be Senator JD Vance – a decision with added weight as the running mate will step up in case of an emergency like the one that was prevented this weekend.

Gunman Thomas Crooks , 20, fired at least eight shots toward the stage, killing a spectator and wounding Trump and two others in an attempt to assassinate the former president.

Trump suffered an injury to his ear and was seen bloodied as he was rushed off stage but is now doing well and in Milwaukee for the RNC.

While it’s unclear if Trump will take the stage more than once, he’s expected to speak Thursday on the last day of the convention.
