A local prosecutor confirmed that the alleged shooter and at least one assistant have died. According to the Secret Service, two spectators were seriously injured.
Republican presidential candidate and former president Donald Trump I was in the scene of a rally campaign, on Saturday, showing a graph with the numbers of border crossings when the elections began shots fired after 6:10 p.m. (12:10 a.m. Spain time).
When the first shot rang outTrump said, “Oh,” and put his hand up to his right ear and looked at it, before quickly crouching on the floor behind his lectern. Several more shots followed.
The people in the stands behind him also ducked as screams echoed through the crowd. Someone near the microphone was heard saying: “To the ground, to the ground, to the ground, to the ground!”, as the agents ran towards the stage.
They piled up on top of the former president to protect him with their bodiesas is their training protocol, while other agents took positions on the scene to search for the threat.
Screams were heard among the crowd of several thousand people. One woman screamed louder than the rest.
Then they heard voices that said “shooter down” several times, before someone asked “are we okay to move?” and “are we clear?” Then someone ordered: “Go.”
In the video, Trump was heard saying at least twice: “let me get my shoeslet me get my shoes,” and in another voice say: “I got you, sir.”
After that, Trump was evacuated and taken to the hospital to check that the wound was simply superficial. The shooter died (killed), a spectator and two people were seriously injured in the attack.
