Team Trump set up a GoFundMe effort to raise a desired goal of $1 million in support of families and victims injured or killed in Saturday’s shooting.

Trump was shot in the ear in the opening moments of hosting a political rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, but appears to be in remarkably good health despite the shooting. A spectator was killed, and two were critically injured in the shooting, the Secret Service said, although spokespersons did not provide further details about the victims.

The GoFundMe description reads: “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. All donations will be directed to these proud Americans as they grieve and recover. May God bless and unite our nation.”

The stated fundraising goal for GoFundMe is $1,000,000, and as of early Sunday morning, roughly 3,500 donations had already raised nearly $250,000.
