“Currently at the hospital with Karen,” Rick Foerster said in the video. “President Trump was just shot, supposedly in the head, and they just rushed him here.”
Trump emerged from a Secret Service vehicle and walked into the emergency room shortly after.
“He’s walking, he’s walking,” Rick Foerster exclaimed in relief.
Foerster reported overhearing a rally attendee’s phone call about the assassination attempt, prompting him to inform his wife and others.
“When I went, ‘Karen! Karen! Trump was just shot in the head,” Rick Foerster told The Epoch Times.
Amid disbelief from his wife and a nurse, a woman in the waiting room began to cry.
The couple suspected that Trump would be taken to Butler Memorial due to its proximity to the rally site.
Foerster mentioned the swift response of law enforcement and the lockdown measures taken at the hospital for security reasons.
During Trump’s medical treatment, no one was permitted to leave the premises.
After learning of Trump’s condition improving, the group in the waiting room gathered to pray for the Republican nominee’s recovery.
“We had four or five people come over, and we just prayed and interceded for him,” said Rick Foerster. “We held hands. Each one of us took a turn praying and lifted him up.”
