One law enforcement source said the shooter knew where the outer protective perimeter was established by the USSS. The shooter knew what building would provide an unobstructed view of the podium. The shooter knew that he would have unobstructed access to the roof. The shooter was able to get off several shots before the Secret Service killed him. This is not an indication of a grand conspiracy. What it says is that the shooter carefully planned the assassination attempt. It's unlikely that this assassination attempt was some sort of a same day whim by some crazy.

And as others have said, possibly due to the fact that he heard the first shot and turned his head.

Yea, our man Trump stood back up and showed the whole world what he is made of. Representing the fighting spirit of Americans throughout our history that got back up and kept moving forward. MAGA



Donald Trump is not a politician, he is a leader, politicians are a dime a dozen, leaders are priceless.

I don't know if it was said before, but I'm hearing that Trump's SS agents have been asking for more resources but the requests have been ignored by the Biden admin.

Having just a small understanding of what the USSS does on a Presidential detail, it's hard to believe anyone can crawl up on a rooftop and take several shots at a former President, but someone did.

I'm thankful for our nation that Trump is ok and it's awful someone attending the rally lost their life.

Wait…..am I missing something? I don’t see how the bleachers and people sitting on them behind Trump would be out of the picture….even with that photo taken from the ground the bleachers on the live news channels are still high enough to be in the picture I think????? Photoshop bullshiy going on here? Am I wrong?

I was out and about this morning at a popular touristy place nearby...was pleased to see quite a few young people (think high school ages) wearing Trump hats. But yes, whoever was behind this event just guaranteed DJT's victory.

There were other sets of bleachers off camera

Nope it looks right, power lines in the bottom right corner. Photographer was shooting from his feet.

President Trump’s statement:

quote:
"I want to thank The United States Secret Service, and all of Law Enforcement, for their rapid response on the shooting that just took place in Butler, Pennsylvania. Most importantly, I want to extend my condolences to the family of the person at the Rally who was killed, and also to the family of another person that was badly injured. It is incredible that such an act can take place in our Country. Nothing is known at this time about the shooter, who is now dead. I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear. I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin. Much bleeding took place, so I realized then what was happening. GOD BLESS AMERICA!"


The man talked about the victims first, himself last. If it were BHO, it would have been "me, me, me" first.

The self control of the crowd behind him is really remarkable. It would be easy to imagine them panicking and trampling one another.

I'm not so sure it was self control but rather a total lack of situational awareness.



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