NRA President Oliver North won’t speak at a GOP event in Noblesville today as scheduled because it would have been "the wrong place and wrong time," said Indiana Republican Party chairman Kyle Hupfer.
Noblesville Mayor John Ditslear agreed with that assessment, saying he didn't believe the community had healed enough from a school shooting in May to have a "pro-gun speech."
The Republican mayor said he didn't know of North's scheduled appearance in advance. He noted he is a supporter of the Second Amendment.
Indiana GOP initially said that North had dropped out of the rally due to a scheduling conflict, according to a press release sent early Sunday morning.
Later in the day, Hupfer issued a statement, saying: “Oliver North will not be visiting Noblesville today, as it simply would have been the wrong place and wrong time."
The National Rifle Association president had been scheduled to speak at the Hamilton County Fairgrounds, just miles from where a student opened fire in a Noblesville West Middle School classroom in May.
