"It's sick. Sick," he said in a press briefing in Delaware, following the attack on the Trump rally in Pennsylvania.

Butler County District attorney told the Associated Press (AP) that a gunman was dead and that a rally attendee had also been killed.

One person is also reportedly in critical condition.

"We cannot allow for this to be happening," President Biden said.

He also thanked the Secret Service and added: "Everyone must condemn it."
