Evan Vucci, an AP photographer, was covering Trump’s rally when shots rang out. He said he immediately knew the event would go down in history.
The Associated Press photographer who snapped a now widely reshared image of former President Donald Trump’s fist pump described how he covered Saturday’s shooting from various angles in the heat of the moment.
Evan Vucci, who has covered Trump for years, said he understood the incident’s significance after hearing « several pops » over his left shoulder.
« I knew immediately it was gunfire », Vucci said in a video posted on the AP’s website. « So I looked at the stage and I saw the Secret Service agents rushing to President Trump.
