1. SOUNDBITE (English) Lidia Hantz, Trump rally attendee:
(Reporter: "What did you see?")
"It was just more like there was, sounded like there were fireworks. And everybody kind of hesitated, like, what’s happening? Before Trump, like, swatted his ear. You could see that he actually had that and he dropped. And that’s when everybody had the initial reaction to drop to the ground. And it was just, it was just like people were just on top of each other. Like she was getting, she was getting buried like. And so it was just, it was crazy."

2. SOUNDBITE (English) Dana Wise, Trump rally attendee:
"Almost It was like there was fireworks first, like loud noises of fireworks. And then all of a sudden you can hear like ricochets, almost like they were bouncing off of the bleachers like bullets or whatever it was hitting the bleachers. And then everybody dropped and we did, Trump dropped also."

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Susan Gibala, Trump rally attendee
"Yeah, yeah. You know, it was 4th of July we just heard fireworks. So we’re thinking there’s fireworks. So, I’ve never been here. I don’t know what’s on the other side. I know there shouldn’t be fireworks, but, what, what are we hearing?"

6. SOUNDBITE (English) Susan Gibala, Trump rally attendee: ++COUNTINOUS SHOT++
"And then I was able to see as he came down the stairs what he looked like, and as he was exiting what he looked like."
(Reporter: "And what did it look like?")
"He was clean all here. And then the only thing I could see was blood on his ear. Yeah, he was clean, clean, clean, clean."
(Reporter: "Did you see him say anything or hear him say anything?")
"Oh, I heard fight, fight, fight. Yeah…It was like, he wanted to tell us: ‘never surrender. Keep fighting.’ Jesus has him. And we know that. We all know that Jesus has him. And I think confusion is one thing, but I know we are at peace because Jesus has him."

STORYLINE:
Donald Trump appeared to be the target of an assassination attempt as he spoke during a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday.
That’s according to two law enforcement officials who spoke on condition of anonymity.
The former president, his ear covered in blood from what he said was a gunshot, was quickly pulled away by Secret Service agents and his campaign said he was “fine.”
A local prosecutor said the suspected gunman and at least one attendee are dead.
The Secret Service said two spectators were critically injured.
Posting on his Truth Social media site about two and a half hours after the shooting, Trump said a bullet “pierced the upper part of my right ear.”
