ASSASINATION ATTEMPT AT TRUMP RALLY


Recommended Posts

Sounds like he might have been grazed:

...

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.

I’m watching now, looks like he’s bleeding from his ear!

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.

On our news's video angle, you can clearly see Trump grab at is right ear and then look at his hand before SS took him down to the ground.

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.

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.

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!"

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.

True, partly because some idiot thought an AR was a sniper rifle! And obviously didn’t know how to shoot! Thank goodness!!

This might be why he was neutralized so fast, but the guy brings up some good questions; mainly why the secret service was not up there before the rally. But this guy might be a hero.

This guy was also pointing the assassin out along with other members of the crowd

Watch it again, he figured out what was happening and dropped before anyone touched him.

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.

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.

How did the Secret Service not secure that rooftop? According to that BBC report an atendee saw a guy with a rifle climb up to that rooftop. He shoots and, fortunately misses, and immediately an SS sniper takes him out!! 

This whole thing reeks, Can't question a dead guy.

Sad to say, but a FORMER president doesn’t get the same level of protection as an active one!!

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

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!
