Obama Postpones Attending Clinton Rally After Shooting
By Sara Jerde PublishedJune 12, 2016, 5:30 PM EDT
President Obama's appearance at a campaign event this week for presumptive Democratic presidential nominee was postponed, a White House official said Sunday.
Obama was scheduled to appear at a Clinton rally on Wednesday in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The president formally endorsed Clinton in a web video released last week.
"In light of the attack in Orlando, the President's travel to Green Bay, Wisconsin scheduled for Wednesday has been postponed," the official said in a statement. "We will have more information on the President's schedule as soon as it is available."

Thanks. I would have guessed fewer, although it has become a regular occurrence.
