The moment Trump was hit
At approximately 6:14 p.m. a volley of at least three gunshots rang out as Trump delivered his campaign speech. He winced between the first and second shot, apparently hit, and reached his hand up to the right side of his face then immediately ducked. Secret Service agents leapt onto the stage and threw their bodies over him as more bullets snapped through the air. After the gunfire ended, the agents hoisted Trump to his feet. “Let me get my shoes, let me get my shoes,” he told them, as they formed a human shield around him with their bodies. When he stood up, the top of his right ear was covered in dark red blood, which trailed off in a line on the side of his face stopping just below his nose. As he moved off stage, Trump punched a fist into the air and pumped it, mouthing “fight, fight, fight” to cheers from the crowd who responded with “USA! USA! USA!”
An eyewitness that spoke with the BBC claimed that he saw the sniper who shot at Trump set up outside the perimeter of the rally. The man, who had a beer in his hand, described a shooter in tan clothing climb up onto a white roof outside the rally and “bear crawl” with toward his position. “We could clearly see him with a rifle,” the witness said. He then began telling to nearby police and pointing out the man to Secret Service. “They didn’t know what was going on, “ he said. A few minutes into Trump’s speech, the man claimed that he heard five shots from the rifle. After the summer fired, he claimed “The Secret Service blew his head off.” Agents then approached the shooter’s position on the roof to confirm he was dead
