IntrepidTravelerThree law enforcement sources confirm the shooter was outside the venue at former President Donald Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania.
Two of those sources say the shooter was on a roof, outside of the venue. Multiple law enforcement sources have referred to this individual as a sniper, although additional details about that are not clear.
Butler County District Attorney Richard Goldinger said he was told by his chief detective that the shooter was on a building adjacent to the property and had no additional details on the person.
“It would have required a rifle,” he said. “It was several hundred yards.”

Thus the metric system did not really catch on in the States, unless you count the increasing popularity of the nine-millimeter bullet.

More likely 40yards but just repeating what he said
Maybe he meant 40 feet away from him, not the stage. And he was far from the stage. Anyway no biggie.
That makes sense.

Butler Police Department confirms the arrest of Mark Violets, identified as the Trump shooter and a known antifa extremist. Before the attack, he uploaded a video on YouTube claiming "justice was coming."

If true what's the problem? The Sigforum security experts think Trump getting shot is acceptable. God forbid if the VIP they are supposed to protect gets shot. Shit happens, amirite?
WTF
Read the thread. Secret service FUCKED UP. Some members want to give them a pass. There is NO excusing this. Trump was on stage in a predetermined location. If they can't protect a VIP on stage then they shouldn't be handling his security. I don't need "years of experience" to know this.

justjoeTrump with blood across his face and his fist in the air while the crowd chants "USA! USA!" – That moment will live forever in American history, like the flag raising at Iwo Jima.

konata88Several hundred yards? Seems like the shooter had some skills. And if so, we get lucky.

sjtillI just remembered that Teddy Roosevelt survived an assassination attempt, and it didn't even stop him from speaking.
Donald Trump now ranks in sheer manliness with TR, the toughest hombre to be president since Ulysses S Grant.

According to the diagram HRK posted on the previous page, only 141 yards. But yes, still a rifle.

tatortoddWTF? I thought USSS was supposed to be on every rooftop in sniper distance and have eyes on every window in sniper distance..
When Dan Quayle visited Purdue while I was a student he walked across campus (i.e. multistory buildings) and there was a sniper on every roof.

At 78? And, pumped his fist, "FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!", after the attempt on his life? I'd say, he the manliest of them all, doc.

P220 SmudgeBefore we get too far down the road with Mark Violets, I have my doubts because the shooter doesn't look anything like him.
