Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., choked up and nearly broke into tears Sunday during an appearance on Newsmax after being asked to describe his thoughts when seeing President Donald Trump raise his fist in defiance and yell "Fight!" seconds after being shot.

A 20-year-old suspect was shot and killed by the Secret Service seconds after he allegedly fired shots toward a stage where Trump was speaking. One rally attendee died, and two other spectators were critically injured.
