- Rico Elmore had spoken at the rally in Pennsylvania before Donald Trump took the stage.
When the former president was shot at in an assassination attempt, he was seated metres away. He then tried to help save the life of 50-year-old volunteer firefighter Corey Comperatore, who had been hit with one of the bullets.
"Adrenaline kicked in and that's when I turned around and I heard a lady call for a medic," Mr Elmore, a member of the Air National Guard, said.
"I jumped over the barrier, the barricade, and ran up into the bleachers."
"Around him were many, many people. So I got there … and there was a towel that somebody had … I held the towel against the victim's head. And another gentleman, I believe it was a doctor, tried to provide CPR."
He spoke to 7.30's Sarah Ferguson.
