WANT TO GO TO AN EYEWITNESS WHO WAS THERE AT THE RALLY. >> PENNSYLVANIA SENATE CANDIDATE DAVID MCCORMICK, HE KNOWS WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE IN THE MIDDLE OF A HEATED CAMPAIGN. YOU WERE THERE, WHAT MORE CAN YOU TELL US AND DO YOU KNOW IF ANYBODY ELSE WAS POTENTIALLY INJURED? >> THANKS FOR HAVING ME. I'M STILL AT THE RALLY, IT IS ALL VERY CHAOTIC BUT I WAS IN THE FRONT ROW. PRESIDENT TRUMP HAD JUST ANNOUNCED IN, INVITED ME TO COME UP ON STAGE AND HE SAID NO, I'LL HAVE HIM COME UP IN A MINUTE OR TWO AND THEN THERE WERE A NUMBER OF SHOTS AND THE CROWDS JUST SORT OF WENT TO THE GROUND AND SECRET SERVICE CAME VERY QUICKLY AND TACKLED THE PRESIDENT BUT THERE WERE SEVEN OR EIGHT SHOTS AND IT'S HARD TO TELL WHETHER THEY CAME FROM ONE DIRECTION OR TWO DIFFERENT WEAPONS, IT WASN'T CLEAR. AT LEAST I COULDN'T TELL. THEN SADLY, SOMEONE BEHIND ME IN THE BLEACHERS WAS WOUNDED AND THERE WAS A LOT OF BLOOD. THE CARE THEY NEEDED, I'M NOT SURE IF OTHERS WERE INJURED OR NOT, IT WAS VERY CHAOTIC BUT VERY SCARY MOMENT BECAUSE OUR PRESIDENT AND INNOCENT BYSTANDERS WERE UNDER SIEGE. >> CAN YOU TELL US HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE GATHERED THERE TODAY? LOOKS LIKE QUITE A TURNOUT. WHAT YOU SAW FROM YOUR PERSPECTIVE, DID IT COME FROM YOUR LEFT SIDE OR YOUR RIGHT SIDE? >> AND ENORMOUS CROWD. I ASKED LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS AND SAID SOMETHING ABOUT 60000. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S AN OFFICIAL NUMBER BUT HUGE. IT WAS COMING AND COMING BUILDING THROUGHOUT THE DAY. AT LEAST SOME OF THE SHOTS AS HE WAS FACING THE CROWD AND IT FELT LIKE SOME OF THE SHOTS CAME FROM HIS LEFT SIDE WHICH WOULD MAKE SENSE BECAUSE SOMEONE BEHIND ME WAS HIT. IT FELT LIKE AT LEAST SOME CAME FROM THAT SIDE OF THE CROWD. AS I SAID, I COULDN'T TELL IF IT WAS ONE ONE OR TWO BUT THERE WERE 748 SHOTS, ONE RIGHT AFTER ANOTHER. >> YOU ARE AN IRAQ WAR VET AND SERVED IN UNIFORM LIKE THESE LAW ENFORCEMENT FOLKS TODAY SO IT IS UNMISTAKABLE TO YOU THAT THESE WERE GUNSHOTS, A FIREARM. >> YES, IT DEFINITELY SEEMED TO BE THE CASE. I AM NO EXPERT BUT IT SOUNDED LIKE A SMALL CALIBER WEAPON OF SOME SORT. INITIALLY I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE FIREWORKS OR SOMETHING BUT THE SUCCESSION OF THE SHOTS, I THINK IT WAS CLEARLY A WEAPON, A FIREARM AS I SAID, I COULDN'T TELL IF IT WAS 142 BUT THEY CLEARLY, THIS WAS FROM MY VANTAGE, AND ATTACKS DIRECTED AT THE PRESIDENT, A VERY SCARY MOMENT. >> THE PERSON YOU SAW INJURED OR WOUNDED, MAN OR WOMAN AND WHAT SORT OF CONDITION DID YOU NOTICE THEY WERE IN? >> IT WAS HARD TO TELL. A NUMBER OF PEOPLE AROUND THIS PERSON, HE LOOKED LIKE A MAN, A LARGE PERSON. A NUMBER OF PEOPLE SITTING AROUND HIM STARTED TO ADMINISTER FIRST AID. IT LOOKED LIKE HE HAD SHORTS AROUND HIM AND TRYING TO STOP THE BLEEDING. THEN POLICE OFFICERS CAME IN AND CARRIED HIM OUT OF THE STANDS. ALL THAT TOOK A COUPLE OF MINUTES. I WAS SORT OF FOCUS ON THAT BECAUSE IT WAS TO MY BACK. WHETHER THEY WERE THE PEOPLE WHO DID OR NOT, I COULDN'T TELL, AND ENORMOUS CROWD. THE PRESIDENT WAS ON A PODIUM BUT THERE WAS A CROWD BEHIND HIM AND HE WAS AROUND HIM. ONCE THE SHOTS HAPPENED, IT WAS A PANIC, PEOPLE DIDN'T PANIC BUT IT WAS CHAOTIC AND EVERYBODY WENT DOWN TO THE GROUND. WE WEREN'T SURE IF THE SHOOTING WAS DONE. >> I'M GOING TO ASK YOU A QUESTION, CHOOSE TO ANSWER THE WAY HE WOULD LIKE. HIS DONALD TRUMP LUCKY TO BE ALIVE RIGHT NOW? >> I THINK SO. ABSOLUTELY, I THINK SO. AGAIN. THE FACTS WILL COME OUT AND WHEN YOU'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF A CRISIS, YOU WANT TO DRAW MANY CONCLUSIONS BUT IT FELT LIKE HE'S LUCKY TO BE ALIVE. I HOPE OTHERS WHO WERE INJURED ARE GOING TO SURVIVE IT WAS A VERY SCARY MOMENT SHOULD. >> THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. DAVID MCCORMICK, A REPUBLICAN RUNNING FOR THE SENATE SEAT IN PENNSYLVANIA AND HE WAS THERE,
