LISTEN: Stunning Audio Released from 911 Calls After Trump Assassination Attempt in Butler, PA
New audio clips from more than a dozen 911 calls from the assassination attempt on Donald Trump on July 13th in Butler, Pennsylvania were released on Wednesday.
The audio reveals the frantic moments after gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire on the crowd, killing one audience member while injuring two others. The former president was left bloodied after a bullet grazed his ear before a Secret Service sniper killed the gunman.
Trump was approximately 8 minutes into his speech when the first shots were fired. The first call to emergency services came in a minute after the first shots rang out at the rally.
“We’re at the Trump rally — gunshots,” a woman could be heard shouting into the phone as the loud crowd loomed in the background. “You better get over here quick!” The dispatcher responds, “Yep, the police are on their way.”
“They just tried to kill President Trump,” a 911 caller reported. While another called told law enforcement, “We have an emergency. We’re at the Trump rally.”
Moreover, one call came from a woman who could not locate her husband after he had been shot and taken away by paramedics.
“My name is [CENSORED] my husband [CENSORED] was shot at the Trump rally. Paramedic serviced him. I called Butler Hospital. He’s not there. They told me to call 911,” the woman told the 911 dispatcher.
