Forensic analysis suggests that as many as three weapons were fired at the Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on Saturday.
The FBI said Sunday that the shooter acted alone.
The first three shots were consistent with alleged weapon A, the next five were consistent with alleged weapon B, and the final “acoustic impulse” was emitted by a possible weapon C, per audio analysis by Catalin Grigoras, director of the National Center for Media Forensics at the University of Colorado in Denver, and Cole Whitecotton, Senior Professional Research Associate at the same institution.
Audio analysis has also confirmed that the gunman was about 360 to 393 feet from the podium, according to forensics expert Robert Maher.
This conclusion aligns with CNN’s analysis that the gunman was on a rooftop 393 to 492 feet from the podium when shots rang out.
The shots exemplify a “crack-pop” sequence, typical when a supersonic bullet passes a microphone, before the “arrival of the corresponding muzzle blast sound,” Maher, who teaches audio forensics at Montana State University, told CNN.
The time between these markers places the shooter 110 to 120 meters from the microphone, Maher said, assuming the bullet is moving at an average speed of 800 to 1,000 meters per second, the equivalent of 2,600 to 3,280 feet per second.
CNN’s Hannah Rabinowitz, Evan Perez, and Ryan Young contributed reporting.

Yeah., that fool boy was one hell of a shot, wink wink.
I’ve seen pretty convincing forensics that debunk a 2nd shooter in the upper window overlooking the roof. The angle from the upper window would make the shot nearly impossible.
I had wondered about the lower window.
It would be interesting to see the ballistic review of a shot from the lower window.
Yes, two weapons were used. Eight shots from Crooks’ AR-15 and two from the police sniper’s rifle.
It was sarcasm.
“According to the acoustic reports, the only shot the counter sniper team took was 25 seconds after the first shot. He could have sprayed 100s of rounds in that time. Just seems odd if he was going out he didn’t do it with a blaze of glory like other serial killers.”
-—————I REPEAT-—————
He was getting shot at by local LE and his target was down out of sight. LE said that day they missed but body on roof has a leg wound.
“Just seems odd if he was going out he didn’t do it with a blaze of glory like other serial killers.”
LOL!
You are the first one I have seen labeling him as a serial killer.
A lot of it around these parts!😀
This never happened. Post a link to your source.
Dumb thread. Really dumb thread. Anyone involved in forensics knows not to make such statements without actual analysis and not go by a few recordings. Just dumb.
The dumbing down of America on display.
