An Eyewitness Account of the Trump Rally Shooting

from City Cast Pittsburgh · host City Cast

On Saturday, a person fired a gun at former President Donald Trump while he was speaking at a rally in Butler County, about an hour north of the city. A bullet grazed Trump’s ear; one bystander, firefighter and father Corey Comperatore, was killed and two others were badly injured. The FBI is calling it an assassination attempt, and the alleged shooter was also from the Pittsburgh area.  Ryan Deto was covering the rally for the Trib when the gunfire started.
