2. SOUNDBITE (English) Dave Sullivan, witness at Trump’s rally:
"The first thing I heard was a couple of cracks and then I saw a hydraulic line from one of the speakers, looks like it got hit. Like Chris had a couple of bullets rattling around, and then we hit the deck. And once the, once the authorities converged, we assisted with two patients that may have gotten shot up in the grandstand, and we cleared a path for getting them out of the way. And just, it’s just a sad day for, America."

3. SOUNDBITE (English) Dave Sullivan, witness at Trump’s rally:
"Well after I heard the shots got fired, then the hydraulic line was spraying all around. You can see the hydraulic fluid coming out of it. And then the speaker tower started to fall down and then we heard another shot that you could hear it, you knew it was bullet,. I mean, it wasn’t, it wasn’t firecrackers. I mean, they weren’t, they weren’t super loud shots, but you could tell they were they were, you know, they were shots"
(CHRIS: "You could hear the ammunition landed and it was metal.")
"Yeah, it was, and then we just kind of took cover behind it, there was a farm tractor there and we just told everybody to get down. We tried to get them to move back because at that time we didn’t know if it was still an active shooter. And we were concerned for President-to-be Trump. I saw him stand up and looks really, like Secret Service really had, they huddled around him and he got up and he gave a motion that he’s ok. And then after that we’re just trying to get out safely."

STORYLINE:
The shooting at former President Donald Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania is being investigated as an attempted assassination of the former president and presumptive Republican nominee, law enforcement officials say.
Two officials spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the ongoing investigation.
Trump’s campaign said in a statement that the former president was “fine” after a shooting at his rally in Butler.
A local prosecutor says the suspected gunman and at least one attendee are dead.
