 KFXZ 1520. I'm Colleen Crane. Former President Donald Trump was the target of an assassination attempt at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania Saturday. The shot taken at the former president hit him in the ear. Two attendees were critically injured and one man who reportedly threw himself in front of his family to shield them is dead. The 20-year-old shooter was outside the rally on a nearby rooftop and was killed by counter snipers. Louisiana Republican Senator Bill Cassidy had this to say.
