Never take people's assessments on where bullets are coming from as being correct. The acoustics are such that you cannot tell. It sounds different to people in different positions.
Poster did not say that IMO. You might look up Trump's speech on YT about shooting someone on Fifth AVE. and not lose any voters. Iowa 2016.
Did he know that the shooter was dead by then? Also, he was likely still in a state of shock.
I think in the slowed down BBC film it shows the disturbance created by the bullet as it passes Trump's head.
There are some very, very worrying people on the loose, quite frankly!"Some people burst into tears [...] one lady next to me was crouching on the ground saying 'Oh Jesus, oh Jesus, oh Jesus, they got him'...
"Others reacted in anger [...] some blaming people for it, blaming the Democrats for it, blaming Biden, blaming CNN [...] and they were angry at the Secret Service."
Newton Dunn adds there was a digital billboard outside the event - within an hour of the shooting, it said: "Democrats attempted assassination, President Trump" and "Praying for President Trump".

True. In that case it would not have been safe to get up yet. IMO he wasn't thinking too much in that moment. The secret service is probably instructed to get him away ASAP, protecting his body in the process.
That's what is almost always wondered at first when there is a mass shooting, and it very rarely is actually true.
And I'm sure that the SS radio messages were that the shooter was down very quickly after the shots. Which should have been the case given that the counter sniper behind Trump appeared to be literally watching the guy!
I can't say I know much about guns, but this is the impression I get as well. If the shooter had been in any way a competent marksman, Trump would be dead.
Even if the wound was caused by flying glass shards he was still shot at !! I have very little interest in American politics although I'm aware their policies filter through a lot of the western world , I'm looking at this and thinking Biden is at the moment looking like a vulnerable, unwell man and while not looking at the conspiracy I'm a logical thinker but I wonder was it a staunch Democrat obviously mentally unstable looking to take out Joe's competition to give him a better chance of winning the presidency idk probably should lay off the netflix
Yes, it appears that he was shot dead by SS snipers only a couple of seconds after he opened fire.
At 20 years old you aren't staunch anything. His life was just beginning. (IMO)
As posted further back on this thread, and elsewhere, the shooter was a registered Republican.
I don't get how he got from his car to the roof with the gun and nobody noticed? Maybe he planted the gun nearby ahead of time, but I cringe thinking something like that wasn't noticed by security checks. The redhead witness said the shooter was carrying the gun as he scaled the building.OK, I'd make one pathetic assassin -- given I'd never get past the logistics of how, when, or what time to arrive; which vehicle to drive, and where to park... Should I leave the gas tank 1/4, 1/2, or full... and what if it rains? I hate leaving my vehicle parked on the street when it rains! And If my folks are going to give my vehicle to my little sister, I'd rather blow it up! So maybe I should sell it first...but then I'd have to take public transit to the shooting... Nope. No shooting today... There's a bakery in the Strip District I want to try-- while I still own a car.
