President Joe Biden there is no place for violence in America after former president Donald Trump was shot at a his rally in Pennsylvania.

He made this known in a statement about two hours after the shooting, stressing that he is grateful Trump is safe.

“It’s sick,” President Biden said he hoped to speak with Trump soon.

With the apparent shooting threatening to further inflame political rhetoric in the months ahead of November, Biden took the opportunity to call for the country to unite.

“We cannot allow for this to be happening. We cannot be like this,” he said.

Law enforcement officials say the shooting is being treated as an attempted assassination as Trump bled from his ears.

A spokesperson said the former president was doing “fine” and being treated at a medical facility. The suspected shooter and at least one rally attendee were killed, Butler County, Pennsylvania, District Attorney Richard Goldinger told CNN.

Biden was attending mass at St. Edmond’s Catholic Church in Rehoboth Beach when the shooting occurred.

Biden said he was praying for Trump: “Jill and I are grateful to the Secret Service for getting him to safety. There’s no place for this kind of violence in America. We must unite as one nation to condemn it.”

Meanwhile, the Biden campaign has decided to pull down down all TV ads and limit their public campaign messaging.

Bidens campaign manager Julie Chávez Rodríguez and chair Jen O’Malley Dillon sent a note to campaign staff Saturday evening in the immediate aftermath of the shooting, urging staff to “refrain from issuing any comments on social media or in public.”

“We’re also asking everyone to pause any proactive campaign communication across all platforms and in all circumstances until we know more,” they wrote in a note, which was obtained by CNN.
