Biden orders independent security review of deadly Trump rally

A shooting at Donald Trump‘s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, is being investigated as an attempted assassination of the former president and Republican presidential nominee, law enforcement officials say.

One attendee was killed, and two were critically injured. Trump said on social media that a bullet “pierced the upper part” of his right ear before agents whisked him off stage.

The US Secret Service said it killed the suspected shooter, who attacked from an elevated position outside the rally venue.

Trump plans major reshaping of U.S. policies within hours of taking office
President-elect Donald Trump is planning a blizzard of more than 25 executive orders and directives on his first day in office on Jan. 20 as he seeks to dramatically reshape U.S. government policy on issues from immigration to energy.
