Trey Filter, 40, said he heard what sounded like firecrackers after the rally but wasn’t initially concerned. “We saw that there was a military presence. We could see sharpshooters, so everybody felt fairly safe,” said Filter, who owns an asphalt company in Wichita, Kan. “I told my son, ‘It’s probably not guns.’” He then saw someone run past and heard people say “get him.” “I tackled him and [another] dude was there helping. People were screaming ‘gun, gun,’” he said. His wife, Casey Filter, picked up and moved the dropped gun, which he said was an AK-47 rifle.
