Two days after the deadly rally and attempt on former President Donald Trump’s life, the RNC is packed with Republicans ready for November.

“It’s absolutely electric. I mean, right now, the crowd went crazy. The pick of JD Vance was a great vice president pick,” State Representative Jon Echols said.

Among the crowd, are Oklahomans like Rep. Echols, who is also a delegate. He said the assassination attempt has affected the mood in Milwaukee.

“There’s just a feeling that this race is over. We have one president that survived an assassination attempt. Another president that has a hard time walking downstairs,” Echols said. 

Aside from the VP news, the first day of the RNC also included the official vote by delegates from each state.

Charles Sublett and his wife Julia made the trip from Tulsa.

“We’re just so proud and happy to be here, representing Oklahoma, the reddest of the red states,” Charles said.

Julia is serving as a delegate, and Charles is an alternate.

While the crowd is excited about what’s ahead, the weight of Saturday’s rally is still on everyone’s mind.

“It was really like a miracle. It’s hard to believe we came so close to that being a total disaster. You know we’ve got enough problems in this country without having something like that happening. So thank goodness for Donald Trump,” Sublett said.

“We’re blessed that the president’s alive and no matter who the president is, that’s what everybody wants. And we’re excited to hear him speak,” Rep. Echols said.

Representative Echols said he is anticipating Trump’s speech on Thursday to reflect a message of unity after the former president told the Washington Examiner he re-wrote the speech after the shooting.

OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) – A 13-year-old girl was shot and killed on Monday in northwest Oklahoma City and police are trying to put together the details surrounding her death while searching for suspects.

A’moni Young was just 5 days away from her 14^th birthday according to an Oklahoma City Police Department news release.

“This is sad these days,” neighbor Joe Cotton said.

Cotton has lived in the area of the shooting near NW 122^nd Street and Western Avenue for 40 years. He said this is the first time he’s seen a crime scene there.

“That don’t make any sense,” Cotton said.

It started around 1:40 a.m. Monday. Police got a call to a shooting off NW 118^th Street. When they got there, they found Young shot in the front yard.

“She was transported to a local hospital where she succumbed to her injuries,” Lt. Jeff Cooper with the Oklahoma City Police Department said in an interview on scene early Monday morning.

From there, witness interviews led them to a search soon after.

“Several suspects did run from the scene, and we do have Air One and our canines on the ground looking for the suspects at this time,” Cooper said on scene.

Police are still searching for answers surrounding her death as to how and why it all happened. So is Cotton as he said he’s doesn’t understand how something like that could happen top someone so young.

“She don’t even get a chance to even see her have kids, grandkids, anything. I mean, you know, people don’t look at things like that, it’s a sad situation. This generation is going crazy,” he said.

Police said they don’t have any suspect descriptions right now. Anyone with information is encouraged to call police.

Nine years ago, on July 15, 2015, President Barack Obama visited Durant High School.

The visit was to announce his administration’s effort to bring greater internet access to schools and homes outside metropolitan areas.

Obama introduced Connect Home, a program that works through internet providers and other private businesses to bring free or subsidized high-speed internet service to low-income households in 27 communities nationally and the Choctaw Nation.

The next day, on July 16, 2015, Obama visited the federal prison in El Reno where he again spoke out against harsh mandatory minimum sentencing for non-violent offenders.
