EL PASO, TX. (THECOUNT) — According to one of the heroes of the El Paso shooting, Jimmy Villatoro, who met Trump during his recent visit to El Paso’s University Medical Center, says Mr. Trump showed a “different side” of himself.
“One of the children went up to hug him so he got down on one knee to let him,” Villatoro told the attending media.

“It was a different side of him, one that you don’t see in public,” he added.
Villatoro has been rightfully hailed as a hero for his actions to save others in response to the shooting, reports westernjournal.
While he wasn’t at the Walmart when the shooting started, Villatoro learned what had happened from a father who was out of town. The father was worried about his wife and children, who were helping out with a lemonade stand outside the Walmart that was meant to raise money for a youth soccer program.
