A retired U.S. Air Force Special Operations member who used to live in Le Mars was sitting just a few feet away from former President Donald Trump during the assassination attempt in Pennsylvania Saturday. Jim Truemper had a seat in the bleachers slightly to the left of Trump.
He describes how things unfolded from his vantage point.
Truemper was not far away from the retired Pennsylvania firefighter who was killed in the attack.
Truemper says there were some anxious moments after Trump went down on the stage.
Truemper says being a witness to the attempted assassination won’t deter him from attending future rallies. Truemper left Le Mars and returned to his hometown near Pittsburgh after retiring from the Air Force.
