Senator Mark Johnson (R-East Grand Forks) released the following statement responding to gun shots fired at a Trump campaign rally in Pennsylvania:

“My prayers are with President Trump, the attendees, and the injured after this terrifying event. Pray also for our law enforcement officers who moved swiftly to protect as many people as they could.

“Violence has no place in our political discourse. Finally, I am praying for the safety and peace of every American to speak, associate, organize, and vote – freely and without fear.”
