Doctor with blood on shirt recounts life-saving CPR at Donald Trump rally

An emergency room doctor at a Pennsylvania Trump rally performed CPR on a member of the crowd after President Donald Trump was shot at while speaking on the podium.

"I heard the shots," the doctor told Jake Rosen of CBS News. "I thought it was firecrackers to begin with. Somebody over there was screaming, 'he's been shot, he's been shot.' So, I made my way over. I said I'm an emergency department physician. Let me help you.'

"There's lots of blood and he had brain matter," he said. "So I got him together so I got people there really helpful. I did CPR chest compressions as well."

Reporter Merly Kornfield said, "Butler County District Attorney Richard Goldinger tells me Trump was grazed by gunfire but is safe. An audience member was killed and the shooter is dead. Another person is in serious condition, the prosecutor said."

Trump’s campaign says he is “fine” after being whisked off the stage at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania after what law enforcement officials are treating as an apparent assassination attempt.

A statement says “President Trump thanks law enforcement and first responders for their quick action during this heinous act.” It adds that “he is fine and is being checked out at a local medical facility. More details will follow.”

President Joe Biden said “everybody must condemn” the attack. “There’s no place in America for this type of violence,” he said. “It’s sick. It’s sick.”

The former president and presumptive Republican nominee was showing off a chart of border crossing numbers during his last rally before the Republican National Convention opens Monday when bangs started ringing through the crowd.

Trump could be seen reaching with his right hand toward his neck. There appeared to be blood on his face.

In a sign of how important Pennsylvania is for both parties, Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, and first lady Jill Biden were all campaigning in the state Saturday.

Biden met virtually with members of the two largest Democratic caucuses on Capitol Hill as he looks to rebuild momentum for his reelection campaign, even as the number of Democrats calling for him to step aside increases.
