He said it seemed the victim was "in the way of the shots between whoever was shooting the gun and the President."
A second witness, an unnamed man who said he was an emergency doctor, described trying to help one of the victims.
"Somebody over there was screaming he's been shot, he's been shot, so I made my way over, I said I'm an emergency department physician, let me help you," said the man, who was wearing a white USA T-shirt stained with blood and a red MAGA hat.
"The guy had spun around, was jammed between the benches. He had a headshot here," he said, indicating a spot on his head.
