First, I want to thank the men and women of the U.S. Secret Service who threw their bodies on top of mine without even a thought for their own lives. They were on top of me so fast. They were on top of me, and there was not even a moment of doubt in their minds. You watch those tapes, not even a moment of doubt. I want to thank Secret Service, great, great people. They are great people. And in that moment, those agents displayed a devotion to duty that cannot be described. And they did it yet again less than three weeks ago when they really did a fantastic job. Another attempt. It was another attempt. We have an evil world. We have a very sick world. My gratitude to them is beyond measure. We also owe a tremendous debt thanks to the Secret Service counter sniper and a local police sniper who returned fire within seconds and stopped the shooter quickly and saved many lives. If he didn't stop, he saved many lives. He had a lot of bullets, a lot of ammunition up there with him. And we are -- I mean, just amazing when you think they did it so quickly without any knowledge of what was going on, boom. And had that not happened, it would have been a very different story. It would have been many, many, potentially many, many people. I also want to express our thanks to the Butler Township Police Department, incredible people. The Butler Sheriff's deputies, Pennsylvania State Police, and all of the other law enforcement heroes, as well as the emergency personnel and doctors, the medical teams at Butler Memorial Hospital, Allegheny General Hospital, who rushed me and rushed some of these very badly wounded people. They were wounded a lot of -- a lot of badly wounded people, and in particular two people, two people. And I tell you, they were very brave and great people. They were big Trump fans, and they still are. That means something. That was -- that was pretty amazing. You know, when I got up, I asked whether or not anybody was killed. I assumed that there would be a lot, because I heard the bullets winging right over my head. They said probably three. The doctors did such an incredible job. It was one. One great gentleman. But the other two have been amazing, actually. They've gone through it. They've gone through a lot. And when the crisis struck, they did really Pennsylvania proud. You've heard that expression, "Pennsylvania proud."
