Emergency room doctor at Trump rally reveals how he performed CPR
An emergency room doctor at Trump rally reveals how he performed CPR on a member of the crowd after the attempted assassination attempt shooting.
www.dailymail.co.uk
This thread is moving SO FAST that this link above is likely redundant (was likely already posted) but I’m posting because of confirmation from emergency room doctor that male victim in the crowd was shot in the head by the sniper.
May this poor victim rest in peace.
Imho
If there’s one thing this man is gonna do, it’s tweet from the hospital.Trump post:
Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump)
I want to thank The United States Secret Service, and all of Law Enforcement, for their rapid response on the shooting that just took place in Butler, Pennsylvania. Most importantly, I want to extend my condolences to the family of the person at the Rally who was killed, and also to the family...truthsocial.com
Jokes aside, it’s a relief that he is actually able to.

Goldring appeared on CNN and said the apparent shooter “was outside of the grounds, so to speak” – and he wasn’t sure how “he would’ve gotten to the location where he was”.
“That’s something we’re going to have to figure out – how he got there.”
The BBC, meanwhile, interviewed a Trump supporter who said he was outside the rally site and had been trying to get close enough to hear the former president speak when he saw a man carrying a rifle climb on to the roof of a building.
The man said he pointed out the building in question to police and remarked: “There’s a guy on the roof with a rifle.” But none of the police reacted, and about two minutes later, the man fired several shots.
At that point, the man told the BBC, Secret Service agents shot the makeshift sniper to death. “They blew his head off,” the man said.

The attack, by a shooter who law enforcement officials say was then killed by the Secret Service, was the first attempt to assassinate a president or presidential candidate since Ronald Reagan was shot in 1981.
The perils of campaigning took on a new urgency after the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy in California in 1968, and again in 1972 when Arthur Bremer shot and seriously hurt George Wallace, who was running as an independent on a campaign platform that has sometimes been compared to Trump’s.
That led to increased protection of candidates, even as the threats persisted, notably against Jesse Jackson in 1988 and Barack Obama in 2008.
Presidents, particularly after the assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963, have even greater layers of security. Trump is a rarity as both a former president and a current candidate.

“We’re pointing at the guy, crawling up the roof,” the witness said. “He had a rifle, you could clearly see he had a rifle. I’m thinking to myself, why is Trump still speaking? Why have they not pulled him off the stage?”
“The next thing you know, five shots rang out,” the witness said, adding he is “100 percent” certain the shots came from the rifle of the man crawling across the roof.
“We can see him from right here! He’s crawling,” the witness, identified only as Greg, said he told police and Secret Service in an interview with the BBC.
