Butler Memorial Hospital, located in Butller, is part of the Butler Health System. It offers a comprehensive range of medical services, including emergency care and trauma services.
Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh, is a Level I trauma center known for its advanced medical care and trauma services. It is approximately 35 miles south of Butler, providing a nearby option for specialized trauma care.
UPMC Presbyterian, also located in Pittsburgh, is another Level I trauma center. Like Allegheny General, it is about 35 miles south of Butler

It’s a terrible tragedy that a rally attendee was killed and another is in critical condition.
I am not a fan of Trump nor of Biden, but I absolutely do not want to see either of them assassinated.
It makes sense to me now that the shooter was on a roof, since CNN interviewed a former ambassador who was in the stands and he insisted that everyone did go through the magnetometer.
I have no doubt that Trump will cast himself as a martyr now, but at this moment I’m just relieved he wasn’t assassinated, no matter how much I dislike him.
This reminds me so much of Reagan being shot, and although I was about six years old when JFK was killed, I remember it. I remember RFK and MLK Jr. being assassinated as well.
Voting is the way, not violence.
IMO.

I bet he won't take chances like that ever again.

The shooter didn’t go through security because he was outside of the event.

I don’t know. Part of his presentation is to come off as approachable and make his supporters feel like they’re all in it together. If he’s continuing with his persona he’s used so far, he’ll not let this change the way he does things.
But I wouldn’t blame him at all if he did change things. It’ll depend whether he picks continuation of the image or caution. I get the feeling for him, both are very salient and it might be a tough choice. Maybe he’ll up the security and play it off like his security team made him do it.
President Joe Biden condemned the shooting at Donald Trump’s rally and said: “There’s no place in America for this kind of violence.”
“It’s sick, it’s one of the reasons we have to unite this country,” he said, speaking from Delaware. “We cannot allow for this to be happening. We cannot be like this, we cannot condone this.”

Could be a mix. I wouldn’t be surprised if he was ex military, but maybe not experienced in shots from that distance.

Biden says 'everybody must condemn' violence after Trump shooting
Joe Biden called for widespread condemnation of political violence following the shooting at Donald Trump’s rally.
“The bottom line is, the Trump rally is a rally that he should have been able to be conducted peacefully without any problem,” the president said. “But the idea, the idea that there’s political violence or violence in America like this is just unheard of. It’s just not appropriate. Everybody must condemn it.”
Asked is he believed Trump was the victim of an assassination attempt, Biden said, “I don’t know enough … I have an opinion, but I don’t have any facts.”

I attended an event at Mar-a-Lago years before Trump became a politician. It was a Toys for Tots Toy Rally, we started at Mar-a-Lago. Trump came down, asked what we were doing, and went upstairs. He and his bodyguard came down with 5 brand new toys from Barron's room. Even back then he had security. But it's a shame this happened.

I can't wait to find out what kind of gun he was using.

My god, this poor man. How brave and selfless to try and help the injured person especially when they wouldn't have known at that time if the shooter was still at large or not! Seeing the blood all over him still is crazy.

I think that's the partner of the bystander who was shot in the head. Not sure, but it fits.

Passing this along from personal experience. A golf ball came through my front window one night( kids across the street....) and the glass from that window left a trail of glass shards all the way from the window, 30 feet across two rooms and likely would have gone farther except the ball hit a wall.
So IF a bullet hit a teleprompter or anything else that would break apart, and kept going, it would take bits with it. This could be how something other than a bullet hit anyone, should that have happened.
