Canada’s PM Justin Trudeau called former president Donald Trump after a deadly shooting at one of his campaign rallies on Saturday. Trudeau’s office issued a statement saying the Prime Minister wished Trump well on his recovery, “condemned what he called an appalling assassination attempt and reiterated there’s no place for political violence.” In what looks like an attempt to kill the former president and presumed Republican candidate, shots rang out at the rally in Butler, PA., killing one attendee and injuring two others. The 20-year-old shooter from Pennsylvania was killed.
This was a Secret Service Failure. People at the rally saw someone climb onto the roof before shots rang out.

And this report from TMZ. Dozens of people were screaming for police as soon as the gunman attempted to climb the building in question Saturday.
Then there were the losses of Hollywood Celebs. As the saying goes “it happens in 3’s” that was certainly the case with the loss of Dr. Ruth, Richard Simmons and Shannon Doherty, all passing away this weekend.
