Video Captures Violent Confrontation at California Trump Rally; Teenage Republican Campaign Volunteer in Minneapolis Shot and Killed
By Fox News. A 33-year-old California man was arrested this week after a number of people were attacked during a rally held in support of President Trump.
Tense moments captured on video at the Aliso Viejo event on Wednesday show opposing sides appearing to square off in an armed confrontation.
Deputies were sent to Aliso Creek Road and Pacific Park Drive about 6:30 p.m. PT, and the Orange County Sheriff’s Department told KTLA that five separate 911 calls were made.
The fracas concluded when a retired police officer pulled a gun on the alleged attacker, Alvin Shaw, who the department’s Sgt. Dennis Breckner said had pulled out a small pocket knife. Shaw is accused of assaulting three women aged 55, 74, and 84.
