President Trump was shot on Saturday at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Firearms expert Larry Johnson confirmed to The Gateway Pundit: ** The shooter was likely outside the venue, ** The shooter was on the right side of Trump, ** This was not a pistol used by the shooter, ** Likely a 22 Long Rifle – likely semiautomatic, ** The 22 Long Rifle is effective up to 200 yards, ** It appears no one else was shot on the stage, ** The audience was looking to their right after the shots were fired. ** Bullet was in a deceleration range

.22LR from 200 yards and brain matter? Doubtful. .223 more likely.
And of course shooter is dead, just like Joe Bonanno's killer.
Very inside job, with implausible deniability.

I am amazed who on the sniper protective team saw him and shoot him so quick.

I'll bet its someone like James Hodgkinson, that Liberal nut who shot Steve Scalise and others at a congressional baseball game in 2017. Only someone on the Left could summon such hatred that they'd kill, just for politics. I think this just cemented the election for Trump.

Awful. Hope President Trump quickly and completely recovers. Hope the reports of Trump supporters killed or injured are incorrect. The assassin died too quickly. Sad day for America.

Sundance has been predicting this event for months as democrats have no other option left. Biden and the democratic leadership are directly responsible for inciting their nutcase supporters.

The shooter was engaged by members of the U.S. Secret Service counterassault team and killed, according to two officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the ongoing investigation publication.

BUTLER, Pa. (AP) — Donald Trump’s campaign said in a statement that the former president was “fine” after a shooting at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. A local prosecutor says the suspected gunman and at least one attendee are dead.
“President Trump thanks law enforcement and first responders for their quick action during this heinous act,” spokesman Steven Cheung said in a statement. “He is fine and is being checked out at a local medical facility. More details will follow.”

Remember how Sarah Palin was blamed when Giffords was shot? I blame James Carville for this. March 24th this year on Anderson Cooper's show he said...'that Biden needs to let someone do the 'wet work' and that he would do it.'
Let's make sure the outrage is the same for him as it was for Palin.

We can be sure of two things: The sniper was not an amateur; and Divine Intervention surely saved Donald Trump's life today. Over and over, we have seen how our merciful God is protecting Pres. Trump. He has survived indictment after indictment. Accusers (Adam Schiff, etc.) who were so certain they were going to "nail Trump" this time have fallen by the wayside, and Trump is still standing, taller than ever. We should all thank the Lord for protecting Pres. Trump and ask Him to continue to keep him safe through all the dark days ahead. I'm convinced that Donald Trump is God's choice to be our next president. May it be so. Amen.

I'm pretty sure most of this info is wrong. Yes, semiauto. My guess is someone fired back at the shooter.
Seemed like one or two shots and then a flurry ....maybe return fire.
And the person shot in the crowd was to Trump's right, makes me think the shot(s) came from Trump's left.
In that direction there is an airport runway 135 yards or so, and what appears from sat pix to be an industrial park on the other side of the runway, about 200 yards away. My guess at this point is from the roof of the
industrial park building.

Everybody who wants this Country to survive, and our President Donald Trump to survive, needs to pray to the Almighty to make it so. Pray long, pray hard, pray like your life depends on it. We should've been doing this all along, but doubly so now. The godless commies will not relent. No amount of reasoning, pleading, or quarter will they give. They're at their last hope to keep themselves out of jail. They are worldly creatures, full of pride and themselves. The hereafter does not sway them.

How many seconds elapsed between the time the first shots were fired and the time we heard “Shooter’s down?” The shorter the interval, the more “interesting” it becomes.

Two things: 1) we obviously have some trolls here and '
2) First time I've seen a pic showing how large the crowd was. Huge. They sure have kept that out of view.
I'm glad the distance was great the shot was safely inaccurate. We had all talked about the fact that there would be an attempt. My prayers are with the president (that is: Trump)

"Bullet was in a deceleration range" ?!?
What does that mean? It seems to me that just a few inches after any bullet leaves a rifle it is decelerating.

One thing I admire about Trump is that he told the SS people to wait as they were trying to get him off the stage; then turned to the crowd & defiantly shook his clinched fist & shouted “Fight” three times! They roared their approval!
I read that DJT would likely have been gravely injured if he had not turned his head. I believe with all my heart that God’s providential care protected him, just as it did President Reagan. To God be the glory for every good that comes to PDT and to our beloved America. He blessed both today, and He answered many prayers. Keep praying without ceasing for good to prevail over this evil, and give thanks to the Lord.

The rifle was an AR-15. Witness and family members saw shooter crawling up on the roof for several minutes before the shooting and tried for several minutes to get the police and secret service attention repeatedly pointing at the person. The building was at least a couple of hundred yards off to the right of Trump's podium. The witness wondered why there was no police presence on top of that building. The shooter had a clear view of Trump from that angle. It was claimed that the shooter was shot by secret service sharp shooters.

From GERALDO RIVERA, of all people (Via X/Twitter)!
"You never know how you’re going to respond when the crap (site won't let me post the s word, even with asterisks, but that what Geraldo used) hits the fan. Trump rose to the occasion today. His clenched fist will define him. Forever more Donald Trump will be remembered as defiant and brave in the face of potentially deadly violence. No guts no glory."

Rifle was identified as an AR-15 and 200 yards is well within its range. The shooter was not a pro. The SS snipers were.

If Pres Trump had not turned his head it may have been fatal. A 22 is not effective at 200 yards. Most likely a 308 or 223. Biden's rhetoric could have been the direct cause of this. He suggested putting Trump in the bullseye at a fund raiser.

It was NOT a 22 LR, I guarantee you that.
It MAY have been a 22 WMR (Winchester Magnum Round) which is still a 22 caliber but going one heckuva lot faster delivering more kinetic energy, certainly enough to split a skull at 200 yards, with the right projectile. Most likely is a 223/5.56 AR round. Or possibly a 5.7 from a carbine.

IF it was actually a .22 long rifle, I have shot dozens if not hundreds of woodchucks out 200yds plus. The hold over is around 3feet. The bullet itself will travel 2000yds. There are higher velocity rounds available now for the long rifle chambered guns, that shoot flatter, further,
When I could afford it I bought a ,22 hornet, 2400fps+, hold over at 150yds was about 6 inches, 16inches at 300. Local farmers paid me .25 cents per woodchuck tail...I made enough to buy the hornet, but hornet shells were not anywhere near as cheep...I didn't get rich. But for a preteen>teenager? Good enough.

Positively identified as an AR-15. Sighted in at the standard 100 yards, the round drops 3.6 inches at 200 yards and 14.4 inches at 300 yards. An easy shot for a real sniper.

My wife came rushing in with the news about the shooting. I wasn’t surprised. I knew Trump has been a target for a long, long time. I’m glad he’s fine. I don’t know if that sniper could have been captured alive and questioned. I hate to think so cynically it was all part of the plan. May God protect Trump all the way!

It was only 130 yards away, if that clears up any confusion over the type of weapon it had to be.
