He was not giving a speech when he was shot, he had just finished dinner at the Hotel Gilpatrick in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and was just about to travel to where he was to deliver a speech.
He went on to speak as planned, with the bullet still in his body (doctors having determined it had caused minor damage). During that speech, while holding up the bloodstained manuscript the bullet had gone through, Roosevelt said, "it takes more than that to kill a bull moose!"
