Immediately after news broke that former President Donald Trump had been shot at a Pennsylvania rally, Wyoming's congressional delegation sent out prayers for Trump.

Cowboy State Daily's Clair McFarland followed the story after what has been determined to be a failed assassination attempt.

There were a couple of bloody videos out there of Trump kind of getting shot, hitting the ground, coming up raising his fist. But as the media was able to confirm more and more on the ground, like, you know, the shooter was killed. This is an assassination attempt.

Whether the practice would remain legal on private property and state lands in Wyoming would remain up to the state Legislature.
