Donald Trump ‘shooting’ eyewitness says ex-president is ‘lucky to be alive’ as supporters reveal horror after ‘gunfire’
A HORRIFIED eyewitness has claimed Donald Trump is “lucky to be alive” after it appeared shots were fired at his rally on Saturday afternoon.
Pennsylvania State candidate David McCormick told Fox News of the chaos that erupted as at least 8-10 shots rang out while Trump was speaking.
Trump was rushed from the stage with blood trailing down his ear after Secret Service agents pushed him to the ground when the “popping” sounds went off.
McCormick claimed another person in the crowd was also injured and that there was a lot of blood on the scene.
He said that it appeared some of the alleged shots came from the left side of the president as he was facing the crowd and that a man behind him was hit.
The candidate said others in the crowd quickly rushed around to administer first aid.
He added that he believed it was a small caliber firearm but he could not be certain if there was just one gun or two.
County prosecutors have claimed that the suspected shooter and one rally attendee are dead.
Immediately screams were heard from horrified attendees as the former president dropped to the ground.
One eyewitness told Fox News that Trump appeared to be fine as he was taken from the stage despite the blood on his face.
Another said he asked the Secret Service to “let me get my shoes” before he was taken away.
He raised a fist to his supporters before being led away.
A Trump spokesperson said shortly after that the president was “fine” after the shocking event.
Some in the crowd were heard chanting “U-S-A, U-S-A, U-S-A,” as Trump was led away.
Another eyewitness told Fox News he heard “seven or eight shots,” and that he stood up and tried to film it as his wife hit the ground.
He added that he saw smoke coming from the gunfire as the shots were fired.
