Fam of Slain Fire Chief, Other Trump Rally Victims Fetch Millions on GoFundMe
A GoFundMe fundraiser has raised more than $4 million for the families of a former fire chief who was killed and two other men who were critically injured during the assassination attempt on Donald Trump at a Pennsylvania campaign rally on Saturday.
The online fundraiser, verified by CNN, collected more than 53,200 donations by Monday morning, far surpassing its initial goal of raising $1 million. By lunchtime, the donation total was still growing by the minute.
“President Donald Trump has authorized this account as a place for donations to the supporters and families wounded or killed in today’s brutal and horrific assassination attempt,” the fundraiser reads. “All donations will be directed to these proud Americans as they grieve and recover.”
