Rep. Dan Meuser of Pennsylvania said former President Donald Trump was only six to seven minutes into his stump speech in Butler County when shots rang out.
Rep. Dan Meuser, R-Pa., tells reporters he is out of the race for House speaker as Republicans meet to decide who to nominate to be the next speaker, on Capitol Hill in Washington, Monday, Oct. 23, 2023. Rep. Dan Meuser of Pennsylvania said Sunday that former President Donald Trump was only six to seven minutes into his stump speech in Butler County when shots rang out, sparking confusion, shock and anger.
“I really looked at Dave and he looked at me, and we just looked around. We turned around, we knew where they were coming from. And then my eyes just turned fast to the president, fixated on him,” said Mr. Meuser, a Republican. “And that’s when he was hit, and he hit the deck. He didn’t look like he went down from the shot, but he hit the deck and put his hand up on his head. And I really was thinking the worst. And so you get a surge of anger, of frustration, of wanting to do something.
Mr. Trump’s ear was hit — either by a bullet or broken glass — and one rally attendee was killed and two others were critically injured, the Secret Service said.
