The Republican National Committee and Trump campaign have stated that the party's upcoming convention will proceed despite the deadly shooting at a Trump rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday.

Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita, co-campaign managers for President Trump, announced that he is excited to be in Milwaukee for the convention to officially nominate him as the 47th President of the United States.

The statement was also signed by Republican National Committee co-chair Lara Trump, the former president's daughter-in-law.

The Republican National Committee, in collaboration with the Milwaukee convention host committee, chaired by Reince Priebus, a former RNC chair and Trump's first White House chief of staff, is eagerly anticipating the arrival of guests in Wisconsin for the upcoming convention.

A few hours after the former president was rushed from the stage at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, the Trump campaign, RNC, and host committee released statements.

The Secret Service reported that a suspected shooter fired multiple shots toward the stage from an elevated position outside of the rally venue. US Secret Service personnel neutralized the shooter, who is now deceased.

The Secret Service announced that one spectator died and two others were severely injured.

The visibly bloodied former president was rushed off the stage by Secret Service agents minutes after Trump began speaking at his rally.

Trump stated in a social media post that he was hit with a bullet that went through the upper part of his right ear.
