In a Pennsylvania field, confusion and then terror gripped thousands as gunfire rang out over a Trump rally.
Eyewitnesses shared their accounts of a shooting at former president Donald Trump’s campaign rally in Butler, Pa., on July 13. Among the sun-baked thousands gathered in a Pennsylvania field, many strained to place the sound that interrupted former president Donald Trump’s speech.
Elmore leaped over a barrier to help a grievously wounded man, trying to hold his head together until medics could come. James Sweetland, a retired emergency department physician from DuBois, Pa., said that after he spent hours in the security line getting inside, he noticed significant protection around the ground.
Trump took the stage nearly an hour late to chants of “USA!” as he marveled at the “big, big, beautiful crowd.” A few minutes into his usual stump speech, he ditched the script and asked his team to project a chart showing illegal border crossing numbers under his term and President Biden’s.“That chart’s a couple of months old,” Trump told the crowd a little after 6 p.m., turning his head to look at the screen.
Once he was convinced he and his wife were safe, Longo said, he turned his attention to Trump, whose hand he had shaken just 15 minutes earlier. With blood dripping from his right ear, the former president was surrounded by Secret Service agents. “I heard seven rapid fire shots,” he said. “It wasn’t fully automatic fire, but it was fast. I am a huge gun aficionado, so I know what it sounds like. … I knew we were under attack.”
When Sweetland heard that someone had been shot, he said, “I just went into muscle memory.” He leaped toward the victim and said he was an ER doctor.
