ARE NOT AFTER ME, THERE AFTER YOU, I'M JUST STANDING IN THE WAY. THAT IS THE RHETORIC THAT WE WILL BE ANALYZING THE DAYS AHEAD ABOUT HOW WE GOT HERE AND HOW THOSE WORDS NOW HIT DIFFERENTLY THIS MORNING. >>> DR. SWEETMAN, AND E.R. POSITION WAS AT THE SCENE AT LAST NIGHT'S RALLY WHEN HE WITNESSED THE SHOOTING. HE SAID HE ADMINISTERED A TO A SPECTATOR WHO WAS HURT. THANK YOU FOR JOINING US THIS MORNING. CAN YOU JUST RELAY YOUR EXPERIENCE OF WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU, AND HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN A LIVE SITUATION LIKE THIS, OBVIOUSLY AND E.R. BUT OUT IN THE FIELD WITH THIS KIND OF THING HAPPENING >> I'VE NEVER BEEN IN A LIVE SHOOTING ARENA, BEFORE, NO COMBAT EXPERIENCE. I WAS ON THE LAST BAND STAND AS YOU ARE FACING TRUMP ON THE STAGE. I WAS UNDERNEATH IMMIGRATION. AND WE TURNED TO LOOK AT IT, MY FRIEND AND I, GARY SHELLEY, AND I HEARD THREE POPS, AND THEN A PAUSE AND THEN FOR OTHERS. I TURNED TO SEE THE PRESIDENT ENTIRELY COVERED BY SECRET SERVICE, AND TO MY RIGHT, DOWN SHOUTING OUT, HE'S BEEN SHOT. HE'S DOWN. AND I TURNED MY ATTENTION TO HER, OTHER INDIVIDUALS WERE SHELTERING AND I MADE MY WAY OVER TO THAT INDIVIDUAL AND I ADMINISTERED CPR. AND AS YOU MIGHT GUESS, WHEN I FIRST ARRIVED I SAID I'M A DOCTOR AND NOBODY BELIEVE ME AND THEN I SAID I'M IN E.R. PHYSICIAN, CAN YOU HELP ME GET THIS MAN UP ON THE BENCH. HE HAD BEEN SHOT IN THE HEAD. EVERYBODY IN THE BANDSTAND WAS STANDING AT THE TIME SO I ASSUME HE WAS, TWO INDIVIDUALS THAT WERE IN SHOCK THEMSELVES, LOOKED AT ME AND GOT UP TO HELP ME GET HIM BACK UP ON A BENCH SO I COULD ADMINISTER CPR. UNFORTUNATELY, THE MAN HAD A GUNSHOT WOUND, JUST ABOVE HIS EAR. HAD NO PULSE, SO I STARTED TO ADMINISTER CPR TO HIM AS WELL AS GIVING HIM RESCUE BREATHING. AND I DID SO FOR ABOUT TWO MINUTES. AND THEN I WAS TAPPED ON THE SHOULDER AND TWO OF THE BIGGEST PENNSYLVANIA STATE POLICE OFFICERS I'VE EVER SEEN WERE BEHIND ME AND THEY SAID WE WILL TAKE HIM. AND THEY PICKED HIM UP UNFORTUNATELY, LIKE A RAGDOLL, AND TOOK HIM FROM THE STANDS. I LOOKED UP TO SEE HIS FAMILY, WHO HAD WITNESSED MY EFFORTS IN RESUSCITATION AND THE LOOK ON THEIR FACE, SAID IT ALL. MY HEART GOES OUT TO THAT FAMILY, MY PRAYERS GO OUT WITH THEM. I'M SORRY, I WAS IN SHOCK YESTERDAY. THE GRAVITY OF THAT SITUATION IS HITTING ME RIGHT NOW. >> OF COURSE, AND WE THANK YOU FOR HELPING US UNDERSTAND THE SITUATION AND YOUR REACTION TO IT AND WHAT YOU WENT THROUGH. DR., YOU SEE THIS KIND OF THING ALL THE TIME, I WOULD IMAGINE IN YOUR DAY JOB. BUT THIS WAS CLEARLY SOMETHING DIFFERENT. YOUR TRAINING KICKED IN BUT TELL US ABOUT HOW THIS DIFFERS FROM WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO EVERY DAY, WHICH IS DEAL WITH LIFE AND DEATH, AS YOU FACE IT IN THE E.R. >> THE DIFFERENCE WAS I WAS A FIRST RESPONDER IN THAT MOMENT AND A SHOUT OUT TO ALL THOSE THAT GO OUT IN THE FIELD AND PERFORM THAT EVERYDAY AND BRING THEM INTO ME, STABILIZED THIS WAS RAW, THIS WAS BLOOD, THERE WAS BRAIN MATTER AROUND THIS MAN AND HE NEEDED IMMEDIATE HELP. THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE, AND I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO WERE THERE, WILLING TO HELP SOMEBODY ELSE. ANOTHER AMERICAN WHO WAS SHOT. AND CERTAINLY, IT WAS A YOUNG GENTLEMAN, I THINK HE WAS THERE WITH HIS WIFE AND HIS CHILD. AND I THINK HE WAS JUST THERE TO ENJOY A BEAUTIFUL SUNNY DAY AND BE THERE TO ENJOY THIS RALLY. THIS WAS THE FIRST TRUMPET RALLY I'VE EVER BEEN TO. I'M SO HAPPY THAT THERE WILL PEOPLE WHO WOULD HELP. LATER ON I WAS WALKING AND I WAS IN SHOCK AND THERE'S A VIDEO OF ME WITH BLOOD ON MY FACE AND BLOOD ON MY SHIRT, AND AS I'M WALKING ALONG I GET INTERVIEWED, AND JUST AFTER THAT INTERVIEW, THERE WAS AN ON THE -- ARMY COMBAT VETERAN AND HE CAME UP TO ME IMMEDIATELY AFTER AN SAID BROTHER, YOU'VE GOT BLOOD ON YOUR FACE. HERE IS WATER AND I WASHED IT OFF. I HANDED THE BOTTLE BACK AND HE SAID TO ME, HE PUT HIS HAND ON MY SHOULDER AND SAID BROTHER, ARE YOU OKAY? THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT FOR ME, FOR AMERICA, SPEAKING OUT AND HELPING OTHERS THAT ARE IN NEED. AS MUCH AS I HELPED THAT GENTLEMAN, THAT ARMY GUY HELPED
