Please see the video below.
Which happened?
A)The police sharpshooter raises his head suddenly, lowers his head and fires one shot, the rifle recoils, then no visual of who is shooting but audio: 2 shots, then a cluster of shots. I think assassin fired 2 shots, cops killed him.
Or
B) The police sharpshooter raises his head, then ducks at the sound of the assassin's shot, jerking his rifle barrel upward as he ducks. Assassin shoots twice more, police kill him.

There were other sharpshooter there or should have been.
Let’s wait for an official analysis rather than speculating
Clarifying, the police sharpshooter fired first, at the assassin, but did not stop the threat. I don’t mean the sharpshooter fired at Trump.
I heard one or two and then a cluster. All sounded like from the same gun. Then a much softer single shot. Likely suppressed. Alex jones showed and close up shot of the shooter dead. Was a high definition up close picture I have not seen. Was one head shot kill. Looks like shooter had turned after the burst and hit side or back of head.
I was hoping people here who are well experienced with firearms could say something.
My trust in official analysis is at low ebb.
I heard a three very distinct shots in the first volley that were spaced apart. There was a short span of time and then about five quick shots together. Then some more time and a singular shot. The last, singular shot I assume is from the Secret Service, was about 16 seconds after the first one by the assassin.
There was someone on X earlier who said that SS uses circles of engagement and that those snipers were scanning for threats well beyond the 300m mark. The sniper heard the first shots, made visual acquisition, adjusted his rifle down, and took the shot.
There’s also video out there of people screaming from the ground that they saw the shooter at distance just seconds before the first shots rang out. The fact that law enforcement didn’t react when a din rose from the crowd about a possible shooter leaves me completely confounded. That’s tantamount to yelling fire in a crowded theater, esp. in a location where president, past or present, is nearby.
Is the movement of the sharpshooter’s rifle recoil or him jerking on it while ducking?
That’s what I am asking, because I don’t know enough about rifles.
So we have to wait for the Warren Commission report? /s
“There’s also video out there of people screaming from the ground that they saw the shooter at distance just seconds before the first shots rang out.”
More like two to three minutes before he started shooting.
The shooter was NOT moving and police had a rifle accurate to 1000 yds.
The answer is obvious.
There’s one trending specifically where a large number of people yelled, “He’s got a gun!” just 2-3 seconds before you heard the shots.
Again, those are trigger words for any law enforcement officer. The lack of action is inexcusable.
The answer is obvious.

Not to me. Did the sharpshooter shoot when his rifle jerked upward or did he not?
Let’s wait for an official analysis from the FBI? From the DOJ? Garland? The CIA? They’re all gaslighters.
Why was the rooftop unsecured?
Yes, some 40 people saw the assassin walk over to the building (with rifle in hand) and climb up on to the roof of that building with the help of a ladder security never saw before the event and were telling the cops and Secret Service about him.
The cops and SS did absolutely nothing even with two to three minutes of lead time before the first shot was taken at the Trumpster.
Replied to you in another thread with this:
I hear the initial shots, the first of which seems to strike Trump. Then a volley of shots, presumably return fire. The video of the agent on the roof shoes that he balked during the first three shots. I don’t believe he actually fired. He balked.
Then, it seems there is a final, single shot, 8 or 9 seconds after the volley of multiple shots.
Let’s wait for an official analysis from the FBI? From the DOJ? Garland? The CIA? They’re all gaslighters.

We will only be gaslit with platitudes about how incredibly difficult it is to secure a site. Even the simplest question of why the rooftop was not secured will be bypassed. At best, amateurish security considering the resources.
Well, at least we know interpretation of the event isn’t straightforward- different views here.
