Two eyewitnesses who captured cellphone video of a gunman firing at former President Donald Trump during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, said they attempted to warn authorities of the shooter’s position but things “got very hectic, very fast.” Mike and Amber DiFrischia told CNN’s Erin Burnett on “OutFront” Sunday that they first realized something had gone wrong at the event when there was running in the crowd and they were able to spot a man on the roof of a building near them. “And then shortly after that, a guy behind me said that he had seen him. He had a gun,” Mike DiFrischia said of the shooter. “And then when he said that, I moved over a couple of feet, and I was able to get a perfect, I was able to see him perfectly,” he continued. Then he began to record. “My wife ran up to law enforcement — was trying to tell them, you know, where he was, but they couldn’t seem to see him because they weren’t in the right spot to see him on the roof. They were too close to the building. So it just got very hectic, very fast,” DiFrischia said. Law enforcement officials asked the DiFrischias, “Where’s he at?” and they pointed toward the shooter’s location, they told Burnett.
