Breaking: Tucson Tea Party Leader Threatened At ABC Taping, Audience Member Screams: “Trent Humphries You’re Dead!”

While Trent was speaking at the event, an audience member screamed, “Trent Humphries, you’re dead!”

ABC News held a town hall event today in Tucson, Arizona. Local officials, friends and heroes were at the event. News anchor Christiane Amanpour was the host. The segment will air tomorrow. ABC gathered members from the Tucson community to discuss the tragic shooting last Saturday that wounded Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and left 6 people dead.

State Representative Terri Proud was at the event sitting between Trent and the violent audience member. Terri was there to speak about the local gun laws. She described the scene to me just minutes ago:

Trent Humphries, the Pima County tea party leader, stood up to speak during the event. He was being very respectful. Trent told the audience that before we start placing blame on individuals we need to get all the facts. Trent then told everyone that one of those killed during the shooting was his neighbor and that he was affected like everyone else by the tragedy… While Trent was speaking- And it was planned that he would speak- One member in the audience and reportedly one of the victims of the tragedy started screaming, “Trent Humphries you’re dead!” The police immediately escorted him out. On his way out he screamed, “You’re all whores.”

KGUN had a news crew at the meeting so they may show the video during their 5pm or 10pm newscast, which means the video should be posted on their site later this evening.

Fuller, who works as a signature collector for political initiatives, was about 10 to 15 feet away from Giffords, talking to her volunteers, when the shots erupted on Jan. 8. He said earlier this week he was hit by a bullet when he dove to the ground to play dead. He decided that because he didn't have any medical training to help others, he walked to his car and drove himself to the nearest hospital.

You know - that is weired: he was shot, decided he couldn't do anything to help others, and drove himself to the hospital ??? With a gun shot wound ?

Actually, if he was one of the people shot, I bet they play it up, from the point of view he is justified.

That's exactly what they're doing at DU right now.

Well FOX has footage of Fuller at the shooters house. Some BS about healing with them.

If Fox tries to bury this they need to be called on it.

I’ve become such a cynic, that my first thought was someone from MMFA paid this guy to pull this stunt. I would not put it past them.

Right now the White House is hurriedly deleting Fullers name from the State of the Union invitation list.

How did the guy walk to his car if he was shot in the knee ? And drive his car ? Supposedly shot in the back too ? Seems odd.

This WAS NOT Giffords' staffer. Let's not spread disinformation.
