A GoFundMe page for victims of Saturday's shooting at Donald Trump's rally in Butler, Pa., has raised $3.6 million from 49,000 donations as of Monday morning, far surpassing its initial $1 million goal.
Meredith O'Rourke, finance director of the former president's campaign, launched the fund to raise money, with the blessing of Trump.
"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 GoFundMe page reads.
Among the top 10 donors: musical artist Kid Rock ($50,000), former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy ($30,000), hedge-fund manager Bill Ackman ($20,000), and radio host Ben Shapiro ($15,000).
The person who died in the shooting at the rally was identified as 50-year-old Corey Comperatore, according to his family's posting on Facebook.
