Ron Jurysta, another rallygoer, shared his immediate concerns for his family's safety. "My first thought was my family and my wife and my son and daughter," he said. "We all got down in between the bleachers. The shots rang out over our head. Seeing the shots, hitting the stage, hitting the president, people behind us screaming because the person that was hit was behind us – I think more than one person, possibly."
White's voice faltered as she expressed her admiration for Trump's resilience. "I'm all in for Trump," she declared. "The fact that they tried to do this... it really hurts that somebody would do that to anybody, much less somebody who's fighting for us."

When asked how she felt at the moment, White described a surreal mixture of shock and determination. "It was absolutely surreal," she said. "I think because I had been 14 hours with no sleep. Maybe [I felt] a little bit of shock that maybe it hasn't all hit me, but even when it was going down, I was just, like, looking around, taking everything in."
"I had four young girls next to me," White continued. "They dropped. They were all crying and shaking. And I had people standing next to me. I had this guy next to me that stood, and we were talking during the whole thing. The next thing I knew, I looked at him, and he was down underneath the bleachers, and I'm sitting there, I think maybe shock."
