Trump rally speaker describes putting hand on the head of attendee who was shot
Eyewitnesses who spoke to CNN on Saturday described an awful scene following a shooting at former President Donald Trump바카라 게임 웹사이트s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, in which one person was killed and two others injured in what바카라 게임 웹사이트s being investigated as a possible assassination attempt.
A man who spoke before Trump at Saturday바카라 게임 웹사이트s rally told CNN that he jumped over a barricade to comfort an individual who was bleeding after being shot.
Rico Elmore spoke to CNN as he walked away from the rally stage. His white shirt was stained with blood from the victim, whom he said he did not know.
Elmore described jumping over the barrier and putting his hand on the head of the attendee who was shot.
바카라 게임 웹사이트All we know is shots were fired, and then I jumped over the barrier and put my hand on the guy바카라 게임 웹사이트s head that was profusely bleeding,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Elmore told CNN.
He said he didn바카라 게임 웹사이트t know the attendee and he was 바카라 게임 웹사이트just a stranger.바카라 게임 웹사이트
Elmore was visibly shaken up but said he was not harmed. He said he only saw one attendee hit and did not see what happened to Trump.
The former president said on Truth Social on Saturday that he was shot in the ear but his campaign said he was otherwise fine. The Secret Service said hours after the shooting that one rally attendee is dead and two others are critically injured. The gunman shot from outside the rally and was 바카라 게임 웹사이트neutralized바카라 게임 웹사이트 by the Secret Service, spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said.
A law enforcement source and a police officer at the scene told CNN the shooter was positioned on a building rooftop just outside the rally venue. The source said the building was the same one where CNN had seen a heavy police presence following the shooting. The building would have been to Trump바카라 게임 웹사이트s right as he spoke.
Senate Republican candidate Dave McCormick was sitting in the front row of the event. McCormick told CNN he saw the 바카라 게임 웹사이트immediate attack on the president바카라 게임 웹사이트 and a person behind him who appeared to be severely injured.
McCormick told CNN that Trump had just announced him and invited him up to the stage, when about a minute later he heard 바카라 게임 웹사이트a series of shots 바카라 게임 웹사이트 about seven or eight shots 바카라 게임 웹사이트 just 바카라 게임 웹사이트pop, pop, pop.바카라 게임 웹사이트바카라 게임 웹사이트
바카라 게임 웹사이트It was all of a sudden just chaos. The Secret Service immediately covered the president, jumped on top of him, and the crowd immediately went to the ground,바카라 게임 웹사이트 McCormick said.
McCormick said he looked over his shoulder behind him and 바카라 게임 웹사이트it was clear that somebody had been hit.바카라 게임 웹사이트 People around the man were trying to administer first aid, he said, as it took several minutes for medical assistance to get into the crowd because it was so dense.
바카라 게임 웹사이트But you can imagine with that kind of incident happening, it바카라 게임 웹사이트s very hard to know what바카라 게임 웹사이트s coming. 바카라 게임 웹사이트 It seemed like the shots were coming from my front 바카라 게임 웹사이트 so the president바카라 게임 웹사이트s left 바카라 게임 웹사이트 which makes sense why the person behind me was hit. But I바카라 게임 웹사이트m not sure if there were also shots coming from the other direction, so as you might imagine it was chaotic and confusing in the moment,바카라 게임 웹사이트 McCormick said.
McCormick said he and all of the roughly 15,000 attendees in the crowd went through metal detector screening before they entered the rally.
Joseph Meyn told CNN that a man near him was shot.
바카라 게임 웹사이트Very shocking 바카라 게임 웹사이트 a lot of people just thought it was fireworks going off, I knew immediately it was gunfire,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Meyn said.
Meyn, a surgeon from Grove City, Pennsylvania, told CNN he helped carry the man out of the bleachers.
바카라 게임 웹사이트I was at the far right of the podium, where the people sit in the front. I was filming him (Trump) speaking on my phone. Just as I was panning back, I heard seven gunshots in rapid successions, in under two or three seconds,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Meyn said.
Meyn said he looked back in the direction the gunshots had come from. 바카라 게임 웹사이트I saw a man in the bleachers was hit directly in the head and died instantly. 바카라 게임 웹사이트 There was a woman who was hit in the hand and forearm, a noncritical wound.바카라 게임 웹사이트
He said he went over to see if he could render any aid, but another doctor was already helping the woman who바카라 게임 웹사이트d been shot.
바카라 게임 웹사이트I helped carry the body of the man out of the stands. They took the body to the tent behind the bleachers,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Meyn added.
CNN reached Meyn as he was waiting to give a witness statement to the FBI. 바카라 게임 웹사이트They want the data off my phone,바카라 게임 웹사이트 he said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트This is the first Trump rally I바카라 게임 웹사이트ve been to. 바카라 게임 웹사이트 You don바카라 게임 웹사이트t anticipate this stuff to go on, it바카라 게임 웹사이트s pure insanity.바카라 게임 웹사이트
