Northern Ireland political parties have condemned the attempted assassination of former US President Donald Trump.
Mr Trump was shot in the right ear as he addressed supporters at an outdoor campaign rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday.
The attacker, who has been named by the FBI as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, was shot dead by the Secret Service.
The US Secret Service previously confirmed a bystander had been killed and two others are in hospital in a critical condition.
Northern Ireland’s deputy first minister, Emma Little-Pengelly, said she was “appalled” at the incident.
“Violence is wrong. There is no place for it,” the Democratic Unionist Party politician added.
“All must stand united against any use of violence as an attempt to close down democratic debate and activity.”
Taoiseach (Irish prime minister) Simon Harris has also described the attack as a “horrific and heinous criminal act”.
