He arrived yesterday in Milwaukee, where the Republican National Convention is scheduled to begin today.
When the gunfire stopped, Marnell got up and saw Trump bleeding."We saw him walk off largely under his own power," he said.The Capitol Police said in a statement that it has been operating in a"heightened threat environment" for several months following threats on members of Congress and called Trump's assassination attempt"a tragedy of historic proportions."
"He's a man who would give the shirt off his back to anyone," Craig Cirrinncione said."He was a man of love," he added.A lot of questions need answering about how a shooter was able to get so close to Trump. NBC News’ Jay Gray reports from Butler, Pennsylvania, with the latest details of the investigations.
Commenting on a picture taken after he got up that showed him raising his fist, he said,"Usually you have to die to have an iconic picture.” Trump also explained why he asked for his shoes in the moments just after the shooting. “The agents hit me so hard that my shoes fell off, and my shoes are tight,” he said.While he was rushed to a car soon after, Trump said, “I just wanted to keep speaking, but I just got shot.
