But if they didn't know about the shooter, how could be sure there wasn't another? But, he did make it off safely so it's a moot point anyway. Just looked like they allowed him to be in a vulnerable position during a chaotic situation.By that point they had gotten word that the shooter was down. If you catch the whole thing, you’ll hear the agents communicating with one another courtesy of the podium microphone.
Especially since they were apparently aiming for his head originally.Yes, that looked dangerous. His head was clearly visible. I didn't like the way he was removed from the stage.

On CNN, they’re breaking down exactly how they all moved in the aftermath. Every team member and their role. The counter assault team was surrounding the secret service team.But if they didn't know about the shooter, how could be sure there wasn't another?

My God, he could have been assassinated in front of the whole world!! Did you hear Trump say "hold on, let me get my shoes"? One of the SS agents said "we've got you Sir, we have to move".A former Trump campaign advisor says on CNN that someone he spoke to said it sounded like a small caliber weapon, and that at least two other people had been hit, including someone shot in the head.
It sounded like a 22 to me, which would be the easiest type of weapon to sneak in.
It’s tough to tell based on the location on the microphones though, so who knows.
He grabs his ear before SS touches him. Theres also a confirmed fatality.It appeared to me that the bleeding from his ear came from being tackled by officers seeking to protect him. If there was a shooter close enough to hit him, we would be receiving reports that the shooter was gang tackled by people in the crowd. I am reserving judgment, but my guess is that some kid set off a string of firecrackers and the Secret Service responded as we would expect. I would hate to see more political violence in our country, so I'm hoping it's something else.
If you watch the video linked above you can see President Trump put his hand to his right ear after the shots were fired and before the SS agents got on top of him.

John Miller is speculating that the shooter was perhaps outside the perimeter, maybe armed with a long gun. Nothing is official though, and this information has a habit of changing.
It makes a bit more sense than someone sneaking a gun in.
Personal opinion. Donald Trump was going to show everyone he was OK and he hadn't been stopped. I don't think anyone could have stopped him from doing so. Showing he's still strong.

I heard that "the shooter has been neutralized by the Secret Service" and if so, I hope this was the only one.He grabs his ear before SS touches him. Theres also a confirmed fatality.
I'm not a fan of Trump but violence towards politicians is NOT acceptable. There have been a few instances recently in France and Germany. Worrying. MOO.
