Butler, Pennsylvania – EXCLUSIVE – New video obtained by Fox News Digital shows two victims being taken from the bleachers after being wounded in a shooting at a Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on Saturday.
David “Jake” Duch, a 57-year-old Marine veteran who was shot twice, can be seen walking through the auditorium holding a T-shirt over his torso, and the video also shows Secret Service agents escorting the former president off the stage and out of the crowded auditorium.
“Over here!” one calls. “Doctor! Doctor! Doctor!” the other calls.
Two officers quickly entered the auditorium, approached the victims and escorted them from the scene. Fox News Digital has not confirmed the identity of the second victim who was carried out of the venue.

“If you didn’t know he was a Marine, you’d never know,” Roger Milliron Jr., who said he’d known Duch for 20 years, told Fox News Digital. “He’s not a loud or boisterous person. He’s not a social butterfly, he’s a hard worker. He’s a friend.”
