John Kloehr Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Sounds like he might have been grazed: https://news.sky.com/story/shots-fired-at-donald-trump-rally-as-former-president-rushed-off-stage-13177651 ... Trump appeared to fall to the ground as he was giving a speech. He was quickly surrounded by armed security and stayed down for around a minute. He then rose to his feet and put his fist in the air, before being escorted off stage and into a vehicle, and then driven away from the scene. Video appeared to show blood on his ear as he was taken away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770 Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Looks more like shot at, maybe hit in the ear. Reports say his ear was bleeding, but otherwise OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cypress Sun Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Reportedly, Trump is okay, thanked law enforcement for their quick action and is currently being treated at a local medical facility. Sounded to me like 7 to 9 shots from either a firearm or pellet gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Kloehr Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 29 minutes ago, John Barleycorn, SASS #76982 said: AP reports shooter dead, one attendee killed. Shooter either dead or "neutralized." Probably the same thing, Apparently from a rooftop near the venue. Looking for a pic. Male in bleachers likely the dead attendee. Lady in bleachers who went down at the moment likely just showing exceptional situational awareness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yul Lose Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 The local Fox station is broadcasting a Braves/Padres game and hasn’t said a thing about the shooting, no interruption for the news or anything. Not even news about it on the crawler on the bottom of the screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cypress Sun Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Former President Trump issues statement after attempted assassination Former President Trump issued a statement on the shooting incident at his rally in Pennsylvania on Truth Social. "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!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypress Sun Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Shooter was 300 yds outside the "secure area" on a rooftop with an "AR style" rifle and fired around 8 shots before the SS counter-sniper team took him out. Shooter dead, one innocent attendee dead and two seriously wounded. Trump got very lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this guy might be a hero. This guy was also pointing the assassin out along with other members of the crowd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rip Snorter Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Happenstance yet again. I was sitting in a little local Montana Cafe, the fifth seminal event I have seen or heard live, yes, radio days, starting with JFK. I don't run TV so I wouldn't have known till i got on the computer. The level of anger in that cafe, I suspect will be widespread, though it was universal where we were. There are one or two photos of a brave, smart and determined man which will speak to all of us Norms, and many more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypress Sun Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 3 hours ago, Raylan said: Trump defiant. The video of the attempted assassination and Trumps reaction to it clearly shows that there is absolutely nothing wrong with his mental acuity or thought process. I've never been a fan of Trump. I voted for him, twice, because he was a Republican and (IMO) the lesser of two evils. The picture above shows grit, determination and above all, displays the guts that are needed to run this country. Trump's reaction to the attempt on his life and this picture will win the election for him. I'll be voting for him a third time, partially because of what he showed me today.

I’ve seen a couple different reports that Trumps people had requested extra security but it was denied by the White House. In the same manner as protection for Kennedy was denied. They will spend money on illegal aliens but not to keep presidential candidates alive. I think Trump needs to hire some private security contractors if he wants to live til Election Day. The RNC needs to step up . They have tried everything else to get rid of him , apparently this is the next step Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinch Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 This can’t go. A half inch to the right and it would be a different story right now. President Trump is very lucky. The local law as well as the SS should be on that building. Someone from the security detail probably laid the ladder down and wondered how that got there. super dumb!
