City of Phoenix spokeswoman Julie Watters on Thursday morning said that many people showed up for the rally but not all were able to enter.
"I can confirm the overall number of people who came to the rally was approximately 15,000," Watters said in an email. "There were more than 10,000 inside and there were approximately between 4,500 to 5,000 outside who were turned away because the event was wrapping up."
