Wonder where the spectators that were hit were located?
where the spectators? As you look toward the stage where Trump was speaking, there was a “family” seating area down low on the lower left which would be down from Trump’s right side. We got that description from Admiral (Doc) Ronnie Jackson early on who said he had gotten some of his family seated there. Those first two shots that wounded the spectators were low and a bit Left, from the roof aspect.
A shot taken from the roof, 30 ft high, or so, would have taken a bit of compensation and might explain the early miss at Trump? A downhill shot takes a bit more skill than a horizontal line of sight.
Curiously, the roof shot at 130 or so yards, is the exact same distance from my shop to my house door. I kill varmits almost daily at that range. It takes a real low grade shooter or some poorass equipment to miss a head-size target at that range. Trump, and the Country, got a heckuva break with that poor shooting. And there needs to be some serious payback.
