Joe Biden's haunting social media post ahead of Donald Trump shooting revealed
The US President announced he wants to "ban assault weapons" just hours before Donald Trump faced an assassination attempt.
Joe Biden's campaign has suspended all outbound communications, including TV ads as the president is "grateful" to hear Donald Trump is safe and doing well after he was shot at during a rally in Pennsylvania.
He said: "I have been briefed on the shooting at Donald Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania.
"I’m grateful to hear that he’s safe and doing well. I’m praying for him and his family and for all those who were at the rally, as we await further information.
"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."
I want to ban assault weapons and require universal background checks.

Trump promised the NRA that he’d do nothing about guns.
And he means it.
In a press conference, Biden said he will be calling Trump to check in on him. He said: "There is no place in America for this kind of violence. It's sick. We cannot condone this.
"The idea that there is political violence like this is just unheard of, we must condemn it. "
Trump’s campaign said he is “fine” after being whisked off the stage at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania after apparent gunshots rang through the crowd.
A statement says “President Trump thanks law enforcement and first responders for their quick action during this heinous act.”
It adds that “he is fine and is being checked out at a local medical facility. More details will follow.”
The former president and presumptive Republican nominee was showing off a chart of border crossing numbers during his last rally before the Republican National Convention opens Monday when bangs started ringing through the crowd.

An eyewitness who was in the audience when the incident occured is saying that he noticed a man "bear-crawling up the roof of the building about 50ft away from us."
The man added: "He had a rifle, you could clearly see. We were pointing at him and told the police.
"I'm thinking to myself, 'why is Trump still speaking? Why haven't they pulled him off the stage?'
"I'm standing there pointing at him for two to three minutes and next thing you know, five shots ran out."
