1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,410
Good evening. I'm Adriana Diaz. This is a
2
00:00:06,340 --> 00:00:07,800
the air live tonight.
3
00:00:07,980 --> 00:00:11,329
Moments after shots have rung out at a
4
00:00:11,340 --> 00:00:14,899
rally where President Trump was addressing the crowd.
5
00:00:14,909 --> 00:00:18,030
Our Scott mcfarlane is there. I'm going to bring him in tonight.
6
00:00:18,209 --> 00:00:21,559
But the scene has been described as chaotic.
7
00:00:21,569 --> 00:00:25,790
Several shots were heard, President Trump hit the stage.
8
00:00:25,799 --> 00:00:28,280
Secret service came in and we're going to bring in Scott
9
00:00:28,290 --> 00:00:31,559
mcfarlane to let us know what he has seen and heard.
10
00:00:31,569 --> 00:00:32,150
Scott
11
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:35,830
Adrian.
12
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:37,930
It was a series of explosive sounds just
13
00:00:37,939 --> 00:00:40,029
about five minutes into the president's rally.
14
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:43,099
The former president's rally here in Butler County, Pennsylvania.
15
00:00:43,349 --> 00:00:47,330
We saw the secret service rush the podium when the noises began
16
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:52,340
move President Trump, former President Trump off the stage and when he emerged,
17
00:00:52,509 --> 00:00:56,459
he appeared to have some blood somewhere near one of his ears.
18
00:00:56,470 --> 00:00:58,540
He raised his fist in defiance
19
00:00:58,740 --> 00:01:01,619
and moved with the secret service details to some type of
20
00:01:01,801 --> 00:01:05,482
motorcade vehicle and this rally has since ended.
21
00:01:05,882 --> 00:01:07,302
This was about
22
00:01:07,522 --> 00:01:09,632
605 on the East Coast.
23
00:01:09,832 --> 00:01:13,342
The series of explosive noises shuttered through this crowd.
24
00:01:13,351 --> 00:01:16,652
So many of the thousands of people here went to the ground
25
00:01:17,001 --> 00:01:17,722
as
26
00:01:18,022 --> 00:01:18,982
law enforcement
27
00:01:19,902 --> 00:01:23,512
appeared to be some form of paramilitary or secret service detail.
28
00:01:23,522 --> 00:01:28,012
Rushed to the left side of the stage behind former President Trump,
29
00:01:28,283 --> 00:01:30,944
appear to move someone or something out of the way.
30
00:01:31,223 --> 00:01:34,183
And now this crowd, this rally crowd is departing.
31
00:01:34,384 --> 00:01:38,293
The former president has been moved off site. A series of explosive noises.
32
00:01:38,304 --> 00:01:41,263
Five minutes into the former president's rally here near Pittsburgh.
33
00:01:41,674 --> 00:01:43,384
He appeared to emerge
34
00:01:43,683 --> 00:01:45,924
defiantly with his fist in the air but with some
35
00:01:45,933 --> 00:01:48,594
type of blood coming near one of his ears,
36
00:01:48,984 --> 00:01:52,594
we working to get more information right now. But I can tell you this crowd is
37
00:01:52,793 --> 00:01:53,704
agitated.
38
00:01:54,194 --> 00:01:54,664
They are
39
00:01:54,865 --> 00:01:54,896
at
40
00:01:55,276 --> 00:01:59,736
some point defiant. Some are refusing to leave. Some are in tears
41
00:02:00,316 --> 00:02:02,225
but this rally appears over Adriana.
42
00:02:03,716 --> 00:02:07,426
It looks like a chaotic scene there in Pennsylvania, Scott.
43
00:02:07,435 --> 00:02:12,466
Just horrific news and this is a crowded area with,
44
00:02:12,475 --> 00:02:15,085
I'm sure what was very heavy security Scott.
45
00:02:15,095 --> 00:02:17,266
Can you explain to me what kind of security people
46
00:02:17,276 --> 00:02:19,576
need to go through just to get to these fairgrounds?
47
00:02:22,679 --> 00:02:25,380
You need to be screened to enter this area.
48
00:02:25,389 --> 00:02:28,270
We all had to go through magnetometers that to have our bags checked,
49
00:02:28,279 --> 00:02:30,149
had to have our electronics checked.
50
00:02:30,460 --> 00:02:35,089
There is visible secret service detail. You can see
51
00:02:35,539 --> 00:02:36,630
it in each corner
52
00:02:36,820 --> 00:02:39,570
of these fairgrounds in Butler County, Pennsylvania.
53
00:02:39,809 --> 00:02:42,639
I can tell you when the series of explosives went off.
54
00:02:42,649 --> 00:02:45,630
Some of us were confusing it for what would sound like firecrackers,
55
00:02:46,029 --> 00:02:46,539
but
56
00:02:46,679 --> 00:02:48,880
it was quite clear to the crowd immediately that there shouldn't
57
00:02:48,889 --> 00:02:51,500
be firecrackers going off here and so many people took cover.
58
00:02:51,509 --> 00:02:55,300
We jumped beneath the rafters upon which I'm standing, which is behind the seat,
59
00:02:55,309 --> 00:02:56,119
part of this crowd.
60
00:02:56,130 --> 00:02:57,509
Others just hit the deck,
61
00:02:57,649 --> 00:02:58,960
got into the grass.
62
00:02:59,190 --> 00:03:00,800
The former president was,
63
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,119
you may see this better than me from the footage.
64
00:03:03,220 --> 00:03:03,919
Remove
65
00:03:04,029 --> 00:03:06,589
a secret service detail that seemed to pounce immediately.
66
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,789
In fact, a lot of people were conflating this for firecrackers.
67
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:10,970
It didn't go down until they saw the
68
00:03:10,979 --> 00:03:14,139
former president get rushed by his security detail.
69
00:03:14,559 --> 00:03:16,100
We can't speak to his condition right now.
70
00:03:16,110 --> 00:03:19,770
All we can say is he jumped back up, raised his fist in the air,
71
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,289
the crowd cheered but he did and he appeared to have some
72
00:03:22,529 --> 00:03:24,509
bit of blood on his head at the time,
73
00:03:25,759 --> 00:03:29,990
raised his fist in the air. We are all praying that he is ok.
74
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,860
We understand the secret service has whisked him away
75
00:03:33,070 --> 00:03:36,270
in the motorcade. The FBI we're told is aware.
76
00:03:36,279 --> 00:03:41,509
But this right now just as it's happening is a secret service investigation, Scott,
77
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,470
this comes as all eyes were really on this rally because we are
78
00:03:45,856 --> 00:03:48,805
just days before the Republican National Convention.
79
00:03:48,916 --> 00:03:50,805
And at any moment, the president,
80
00:03:50,815 --> 00:03:54,095
the former president was expected to announce his VP pick.
81
00:03:54,106 --> 00:03:59,026
So this was a significant rally and you know, at a time where
82
00:03:59,445 --> 00:04:03,826
there's been a lot of scrutiny, a lot of focus on who that could have been.
83
00:04:03,835 --> 00:04:05,076
We are getting in
84
00:04:05,602 --> 00:04:10,102
some comment here, some commentary from JD Vance, the
85
00:04:10,361 --> 00:04:13,052
senator from Ohio who was one of the contenders,
86
00:04:13,061 --> 00:04:17,522
one of the contenders for president, former President Trump's VP pick.
87
00:04:17,531 --> 00:04:21,302
He has written on X, everyone join me in praying for
88
00:04:21,552 --> 00:04:25,541
President Trump and everyone at that rally. I hope everyone is ok.
89
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:30,540
It is a sentiment that we all echo Scott. Can you tell us what is happening now?
90
00:04:30,549 --> 00:04:34,529
We're seeing some pictures uh likely from earlier of a motorcade
91
00:04:34,540 --> 00:04:39,170
being taken out and uh security personnel and camouflage heading in
92
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,440
with long guns surely trying to secure the area.
93
00:04:45,859 --> 00:04:48,649
I'm seeing another ambulance move in right now. Adriana. Pardon me?
94
00:04:48,660 --> 00:04:52,880
As I look away, but I see another Adrian another ambulance behind one of the rafters
95
00:04:53,390 --> 00:04:56,649
near where former President Trump was speaking, this crowd
96
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,070
is 90% gone from the seating area.
97
00:04:59,079 --> 00:05:01,359
They've moved back behind us and some of them
98
00:05:01,369 --> 00:05:03,420
in the direction of their cars or towards all the
99
00:05:03,809 --> 00:05:06,489
uh the walking areas that got them the very long
100
00:05:06,500 --> 00:05:08,950
walk from the parking lots to the rally site.
101
00:05:08,959 --> 00:05:08,989
But
102
00:05:09,170 --> 00:05:11,350
we see no shortage
103
00:05:11,730 --> 00:05:12,920
of medical units.
104
00:05:12,929 --> 00:05:19,640
I'm looking at 123 fire truck or medical units nearby a police detail,
105
00:05:19,649 --> 00:05:21,399
keeping the crowd away from that area
106
00:05:21,989 --> 00:05:24,570
to be clear. This is a heavily secured event.
107
00:05:24,579 --> 00:05:27,959
This is not just a hanging out at the county fairgrounds. You had to get
108
00:05:28,140 --> 00:05:28,269
w
109
00:05:28,470 --> 00:05:31,859
you had to go through metal detectors you had to go through a secret service
110
00:05:31,989 --> 00:05:34,450
protective detail to get into this site.
111
00:05:34,630 --> 00:05:38,559
And people were arriving here as early as 10 or 11 this morning,
112
00:05:38,570 --> 00:05:41,820
people were entering this area as early as one o'clock this afternoon.
113
00:05:42,029 --> 00:05:45,700
They've been screamed, which begs any number of questions.
114
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:47,980
I can also tell you that it's worth noting the crowd,
115
00:05:47,989 --> 00:05:50,019
some of them are being particularly hostile
116
00:05:50,170 --> 00:05:50,679
there
117
00:05:51,359 --> 00:05:54,510
yelling in the direction of us, yelling in the direction of authorities.
118
00:05:54,679 --> 00:05:57,100
Um But they are emptying out rallies over.
119
00:05:58,880 --> 00:05:59,940
It's incredible, Scott,
120
00:05:59,950 --> 00:06:03,779
how quickly that crowd emptied out when we were talking just moments ago,
121
00:06:03,790 --> 00:06:07,100
it was packed and now when we just saw you recently, you know,
122
00:06:07,109 --> 00:06:09,600
you can see that that area has been cleared.
123
00:06:09,950 --> 00:06:14,359
I can hear the yelling behind you, Scott. Uh No doubt, this is
124
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:18,059
a difficult, frightening moment for everyone who was there.
125
00:06:18,070 --> 00:06:20,339
Everyone across the country who was watching
126
00:06:20,739 --> 00:06:25,130
for there to be shots to have been fired toward the president.
127
00:06:25,369 --> 00:06:28,019
And at this point, it's too early to know exactly what happened.
128
00:06:28,029 --> 00:06:30,010
We saw him reach up and touch his head.
129
00:06:30,220 --> 00:06:33,070
We don't know if he was hit. We don't know if he was grazed.
130
00:06:33,079 --> 00:06:34,600
We don't know if someone else was hit.
131
00:06:34,779 --> 00:06:38,269
You just told us that you saw an ambulance at the scene,
132
00:06:38,519 --> 00:06:44,290
but this is a moment that is going to change the trajectory of this campaign
133
00:06:44,500 --> 00:06:45,489
already. So much
134
00:06:46,089 --> 00:06:50,410
focus had really been on this campaign on the side. Of President Biden.
135
00:06:50,420 --> 00:06:53,470
Now, we are talking about the unthinkable potentially
136
00:06:53,579 --> 00:06:55,190
former President Trump
137
00:06:55,309 --> 00:06:59,510
on stage as shots ring out here in Butler County, Pennsylvania
138
00:06:59,660 --> 00:07:02,220
Scott. Can you tell us a bit of what you're seeing now?
139
00:07:02,230 --> 00:07:04,100
What are people yelling behind you?
140
00:07:04,980 --> 00:07:06,480
He was raising his request.
141
00:07:07,220 --> 00:07:09,829
They're yelling at us. Some of the members of the crowd are
142
00:07:10,019 --> 00:07:13,019
gesturing towards us and screaming vulgarities at the media.
143
00:07:13,029 --> 00:07:17,000
We're all in a row here on the rafters above the stage, above the seated area.
144
00:07:17,190 --> 00:07:20,679
But I could see police or law enforcement of some sort, secret service
145
00:07:20,910 --> 00:07:23,390
state police or county police moving the crowd out.
146
00:07:23,399 --> 00:07:24,760
They're getting everybody out of here
147
00:07:25,489 --> 00:07:27,279
which raises a few possibilities, doesn't it?
148
00:07:27,290 --> 00:07:27,779
Adriana,
149
00:07:27,790 --> 00:07:29,380
that they have to collect some type of
150
00:07:29,390 --> 00:07:31,750
evidence or investigate some type of incident,
151
00:07:31,769 --> 00:07:33,000
some type of crime.
152
00:07:33,010 --> 00:07:35,019
If these were, in fact, gunshots,
153
00:07:35,279 --> 00:07:37,756
are they concerned about everybody's safety as
154
00:07:37,936 --> 00:07:42,186
people are now moving in aimless directions, bumping into each other,
155
00:07:42,196 --> 00:07:43,526
bumping into tossed equipment.
156
00:07:43,656 --> 00:07:46,425
There's a lot of debris around here too. People just hit the ground.
157
00:07:46,436 --> 00:07:47,446
Chairs were toppled.
158
00:07:47,615 --> 00:07:48,126
We
159
00:07:48,256 --> 00:07:48,985
jump beneath
160
00:07:49,235 --> 00:07:49,355
our
161
00:07:49,966 --> 00:07:49,976
uh
162
00:07:50,135 --> 00:07:52,485
our elevated stage, cameras and
163
00:07:52,936 --> 00:07:57,325
stands and tables fell on top of us. It was a chaotic moment.
164
00:07:57,335 --> 00:07:58,645
I don't think that's overstating it.
165
00:07:58,946 --> 00:08:02,996
Once everybody recognized two or three seconds in these might be gunshots.
166
00:08:03,006 --> 00:08:04,325
It was a sequence
167
00:08:04,776 --> 00:08:05,515
of fast
168
00:08:06,182 --> 00:08:06,361
of
169
00:08:06,492 --> 00:08:10,332
exploding as if somebody had lit off 10 or 12 firecrackers in a row.
170
00:08:10,541 --> 00:08:14,191
And it's easy to conflate firecrackers and some types of gun rounds.
171
00:08:14,562 --> 00:08:17,321
But once everybody recognized something was afoot here.
172
00:08:17,332 --> 00:08:19,582
When the secret service moved in to former President Trump,
173
00:08:19,592 --> 00:08:22,082
everybody recognized the severity of the situation.
174
00:08:22,421 --> 00:08:24,252
And there are people moving in different directions,
175
00:08:24,261 --> 00:08:28,332
running into each other or just face planting into the grass or into the ground.
176
00:08:28,701 --> 00:08:29,231
And
177
00:08:29,622 --> 00:08:32,751
you can see still from my vantage point on the other side of this camera,
178
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:34,730
people in tears, people hugging each other,
179
00:08:35,130 --> 00:08:36,609
people comforting each other
180
00:08:37,109 --> 00:08:38,619
as the scene in Butler County,
181
00:08:38,630 --> 00:08:41,409
Pennsylvania where there was to be a marathon rally
182
00:08:41,419 --> 00:08:43,960
of former President Trump that only got five minutes in
183
00:08:44,229 --> 00:08:45,719
before this incident occurred.
184
00:08:47,270 --> 00:08:48,979
Scott, what you're describing is
185
00:08:49,390 --> 00:08:54,474
horrific. This is, this is the worst possible scenario at an event like this.
186
00:08:54,844 --> 00:08:58,715
Um Our politicians are supposed to be able to address
187
00:08:58,844 --> 00:09:04,414
the public in a safe environment and that is why there is so so much security,
188
00:09:04,424 --> 00:09:06,875
the security that you've described people being waned down,
189
00:09:06,885 --> 00:09:09,414
having their bags checked just to get into that area.
190
00:09:09,825 --> 00:09:13,695
And you know, we understand why tensions are so high,
191
00:09:13,705 --> 00:09:15,375
why people are so emotional there?
192
00:09:15,385 --> 00:09:16,015
This is
193
00:09:16,505 --> 00:09:18,015
really just,
194
00:09:18,869 --> 00:09:21,200
it's a tragic moment. Um
195
00:09:21,630 --> 00:09:22,349
And
196
00:09:22,630 --> 00:09:25,510
when you were there, when it happened, Scott,
197
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,469
did you know you mentioned it sounded like firecrackers.
198
00:09:28,869 --> 00:09:32,950
How long did it take for people in the crowd to realize what was happening?
199
00:09:33,419 --> 00:09:33,429
I
200
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:33,630
wanna
201
00:09:33,789 --> 00:09:34,090
toss it
202
00:09:34,340 --> 00:09:34,700
over
203
00:09:34,979 --> 00:09:35,500
to
204
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:35,809
uh
205
00:09:36,270 --> 00:09:39,479
took about four or five seconds for a lot of us to recognize that first of all,
206
00:09:39,489 --> 00:09:42,590
firecrackers shouldn't be lit or ignited at an event like this.
207
00:09:42,599 --> 00:09:44,299
So there was something suspicious about it,
208
00:09:44,309 --> 00:09:46,119
even though it sounded like firecrackers,
209
00:09:46,250 --> 00:09:47,765
there was a pretty quick realization,
210
00:09:47,775 --> 00:09:49,315
this could be something much more dangerous
211
00:09:49,325 --> 00:09:51,125
and let me be unequivocal about something.
212
00:09:51,395 --> 00:09:55,565
This is a security failure of epic historic proportions
213
00:09:56,164 --> 00:09:57,364
that there was
214
00:09:57,765 --> 00:09:59,724
some type of explosive noise.
215
00:09:59,835 --> 00:10:02,655
The former president had to be tackled and taken off stage by
216
00:10:02,664 --> 00:10:05,494
a secret service with blood appearing to come from his head.
217
00:10:05,505 --> 00:10:08,375
That a crowd of thousands at a presidential rally
218
00:10:08,684 --> 00:10:09,775
had to hit the ground.
219
00:10:09,784 --> 00:10:12,614
Some of them colliding with each other equipment falling
220
00:10:12,625 --> 00:10:14,515
on their heads and our heads at one point
221
00:10:14,950 --> 00:10:17,010
no matter what, this ends up being.
222
00:10:17,190 --> 00:10:20,020
This is a security failure at an event that is secured by the
223
00:10:20,030 --> 00:10:24,289
US Secret Service and any number of other law enforcement agencies where everybody
224
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:25,719
in the space
225
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:27,210
had to be screened
226
00:10:27,340 --> 00:10:29,250
and wanted by metal detectors
227
00:10:29,549 --> 00:10:30,609
and officers.
