A hospital employee recorded a video showing workers profusely thanking President Donald Trump for visiting Pittsburgh on Oct. 30.
Four of the six left injured in the shooting were police officers.
President Trump and his wife visited the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center during the trip. Their visit there was closed to press.
But an employee at the hospital, Sheryl Mascio, recorded the pair walking through a hallway as they were stopped by a group of employees who thanked them for visiting.
The Trumps approached the group, with the President thanking them in return.
One man then said, “Can I shake your hand, sir?”
The Trumps proceeded to shake the hands of the employees.
As the couple walked away, Ivanka Trump and Kushner were seen in the background. One male employee shouted out, “I love you Ivanka!” prompting laughter from both groups.
“The president kept a solemn tone and was gracious. One officer had his 3-month old son and the president spent a lot of time with the baby,” said Dr. Steven Shapiro, the medical center’s chief medical and scientific officer.
“The beauty of it was there was nothing political, nothing profound. He was interested in hearing the patients’ stories and meeting the doctors and caregivers,” he added.
As the president visited with officers, Ivanka Trump and Kushner visited with another victim in that patient’s room and one patient who was otherwise unable to have visitors.
The presidential entourage stopped by the Tree of Life Synagogue in Squirrel Hill before traveling to the hospital and was greeted there by Rabbi Jeffrey Myers.
The group walked to a memorial set up outside the synagogue and the president and first lady set white flowers atop markers dedicated to the 11 who died. Trump did not speak publicly during the nearly four-hour visit to Pittsburgh.
