The gunman believed to have been behind the attempted assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump Saturday was shot and killed by Secret Service, sources told The Post.
The shooter, identified as a Chinese man, was in a sniper position located hundreds of yards away from Trump’s podium in Butler, Pa. as he spoke to a campaign crowd, sources said.

(2024 is going to be one for the history books, like 1939. And 2025 will be more so, like 1940-1945.)

Two hundred yards is a easy shot in deer hunting country.
But the perp used the wrong gun to put down a man.
.223 is a “girly round”
Yeah it can kill but if you want a guaranteed kill, Kennedy style, a .30-06 would do the job.

Any decent hunter with a scoped rifle could make a shot like that.
But wouldn’t they mostly be Trump supporters, or at the very least not interested in killing him?

Yeah, China isn’t ready for the absolute hell that would rein down on them.
Beijing isn’t suicidal.

Listening a bit to ABC News.
The cover-up has begun.

Where did you hear it was a .22?

Just random posts from several FR threads as the incident unfolded.

We’ll see what Dan Bongino has to say. I don’t know if he has commented on shooting yet.
To: cuban leaf
Actually, Anyone who has qualified on a military range could make that shot. 200 yards with a 5.56 is pretty standard.
Of course, shooting on a range and in real life are two very different things. And knowing there will be immediate return fire has to get your heart beating a bit. So, likely after the first shot, the shooter was just “wild.”

I suspect it was more likely a .223. A little more “oomph”.

I also believe this.
The Secret SErvice told somebody there that the bullet hit the teleprompter and Trump was hit by flying glass from it.
No matter how you slice it, God protected Donald Trump today, and I’m understanding it as a message from Him that He has not given up on us.
To: Biblebelter
Oh BS. ABC is scared to death that this will rally more support for Trump. They’re trying to chum the waters.
To: MarlonRando
Because we know nothing about the shooter at this point, my guess is that FBI knows exactly who he is, has been under surveillance for months and that they're looking at the possibility of a second shooter....if this one was unsuccessful.
Just a gut feeling.
To: Fury
I am guilty, of course.
Shocked to see after a couple of hours of “suspect dead” to see “Identity of suspect not known.” Did he never get finger printed?

I would have expected the SS would have had their own guy on such a roof like this near a campaign event.

Virgil ‘The Turk’ Sollozzo : He’s still alive. They hit him with five shots and he’s atill alive.
Team Obama: They let him get off eight shots and all he got was a graze to the ear.

...And Trump was yelling “fight” to the crowd as he was escorted away... I could lip read the video to get the "F" part, but somehow I thought it was a different word.
