Doug Mills, a photographer for the New York Times, was in close proximity to Donald Trump when gunshots rang out at Saturday's rally. He recounted the chaotic scene as he captured photos of the attempted assassination.
Mills described how he was setting up his camera to take a picture of the former president on stage when he suddenly heard what he initially thought were pops. Not being familiar with the sound of an AR-15, he likened it to a motorcycle or some type of machinery. However, upon seeing Trump grab his ear, wince, and then collapse, Mills realized the severity of the situation. He recalled, 'Oh, my God, he's been shot.' The intensity of the moment still gives him chills.
