Biden speaks with Trump after shooting at campaign rally

• Biden is returning to the White House from Rehoboth Beach, Del. on Saturday evening in response to the shooting. "Tomorrow morning at the White House, he will receive an updated briefing from homeland security and law enforcement officials," per the White House.
• The White House did not provide any additional details on the phone call between Biden and Trump.

State of play: Trump was ushered off stage at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania after gunshots, including one that hit him in the ear.

• One rally attendee and an alleged shooter have died, the Butler County district attorney told the Associated Press and other outlets.
• Biden in remarks earlier on Saturday assured viewers his Republican opponent appears to be "doing well" and urged "everybody" to condemn political violence in the U.S.
• Biden said he hoped to speak with Trump.

What he's saying: "There's no place in America for this kind of violence, it's sick. It's sick. It's one of the reasons why we have to unite this country," Biden said during brief remarks on Saturday.

• "We cannot allow for this to be happening. We cannot be like this."

• "The bottom line is, the Trump rally is a rally that he should have been able to conduct peacefully without any problem," Biden said.
• "The idea that there's political violence or violence in America like this, is just unheard of. It's just not appropriate."

The Biden campaign is pausing all outbound communications and working to pull down television ads as quickly as possible, per a campaign official.
