Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump have canceled Friday campaign events in the wake of the shootings in Dallas that killed five police officers.
Clinton’s campaign announced that a scheduled event with Vice President Biden in Pennsylvania would be postponed.
“Due to the tragic events in Dallas, the July 8 Hillary for America campaign event with Vice President Biden will be postponed,” Clinton’s campaign said in a Friday morning statement.

Trump’s campaign also announced Friday morning that it was canceling a trip to Miami for a series of campaign events. They added that a statement from Trump on the tragic events in Dallas will follow.
Five police officers were killed and seven were wounded Thursday night in an “ambush-style” attack in Dallas, the deadliest attack on police since 9/11.
The killings took place during a protest against the use of deadly force by police against African-Americans.
It’s the second time Clinton has had a major event postponed after a deadly shooting. She had originally planned to campaign with President Obama in Wisconsin in June, but that was canceled in the wake of the mass shooting in Orlando.
Obama has since joined Clinton on the campaign trail in North Carolina.
