TRUMP RALLY GUNMAN Seen Opening Fire ... AND GETTING KILLED SECONDS LATER
TMZ ^ | 7/34/24 | staff

Posted on 07/14/2024 8:57:18 AM PDT by CFW

The Trump rally gunman was laid out on his belly, took aim and fired shots into the crowd before he got met with incoming bullets that killed him ... and TMZ has it all on video.

We've obtained an incredible clip that shows the moment the gunman opened fire at the Butler, PA rally Saturday -- and you can see the guy looking through either a scope or iron sights on a roof ... with people watching down below and freaking out, their panic palpable.

The guy has longer brown hair, and he seems to be wearing a grey shirt/khaki pants -- and as you can see, he's carefully trying pinpoint a target from afar before pulling the trigger.

The cameraman, Michael Difrischia, panned back to the gunman after the retaliating rounds could be heard ... and sure enough, you see the gunman laying there limp and lifeless. You can hear someone off-camera say, "That's exactly why we need f***ing Trump here."

What is that symbol on the back of his T-shirt?

The D/R with Eagle could possibly stand for some German symbology, such as the East German Railroad (Deutsche Reichsbahn).

See here, here or here.

Deep state will have trouble spinning this but they will. “systemic failure” is what they will call it. Not what it really is...a deep state plot to assassinate the GOP nominee before he picks the VP so the Deep State can pick the GOP nominee and the VP.

They blurred everything, like people blur kids faces. Can’t see anything about the shooter. The whole blurring business is dumb. Don’t bother if you are going to blur the content. Only exception may be genitals on family friendly sites.

“End game: Once the police show up, I’ve racked out any live rounds and placed the gun on the floor at least 8 feet from me, while I lie on the ground with my hands behind my back. What do you think of our protocol?”


That plan has merit. You want to be able to concentrate on the threat without worrying about your wife’s safety or her getting shot by either yourself or an intruder. Remember though, a fiberglass tub is not going to stop a bullet although it may slow it down a bit. Making sure you are not holding the firearm when the police arrive (as long as the threat has been neutralized) is definitely a good idea.

From what I can gather, the roof the shooter was on has a slight incline towards the shooter’s head. It is possible that the counter-snipers couldn’t see him because he was below their line of vision until he raised his head to take the shot.

"You want to be able to concentrate on the threat without worrying about your wife’s safety or her getting shot by either yourself or an intruder."

My Wife's safety comes before ALL else. Already explained no live fire until I'm sure it's not my Wife. As for getting shot by the intruder[s], that's the chess game in a house. I've practiced day time intrusions and night time. For night when most invasions occur, that's why I have a high powered light on the barrel. While I'm at an advantage point, turn it on and truly is blinding.

Sure, the bad guys know where I am once the light is on, but I can see everywhere within the light's range. At that point safety goes off (just in front of the trigger guard) and he/they lose. Also, I won't rack my slide hoping the sound scares off the intruders. If intrusion is real, there is already one in the chamber. Plus, I have an 8 round extended tube magazine.

FYI, I have practiced with my 870 at the local range every couple years. I can fire from shoulder, armpit, and hip. Trick for armpit and hip is distance from body. I like hip best, although not as accurate as shoulder or armpit. But then we're talking 00 buck load and brilliant light. They better be good shots or they are getting cut in half.

No, I won't use a pistol for home defense because of the close proximity to neighbors.

Thanks.

I hate the term misinformation. It’s loaded language. It is a slanderous term, like “conspiracy theory.” “Disinformation” and “conspiracy theorist” are terms often used by our one-party press.

I’ve asked before and I will ask again. Is there a single Democrat in America who realizes, without prompting, that Hillary Clinton is a conspiracy theorist? Having held numerous press conferences about a “vast right-wing conspiracy” out to get her, she may be the most prominent, best documented conspiracy theorist of the 20th and 21st century.

One man’s truth is another man’s disinformation. One man’s disinformation is another man’s truth.

The people who say “disinformation” implicitly claim to be right. There is no humility, no realization that they might be wrong. There is no acknowledgement that they have an opinion and that others have differing opinions. There is a hint that those who disagree are committing an act of cyberwarfare. The speaker demonstrates an extreme form of closed mindedness. They speak the TRUTH and those who disagree are the enemy.

New info: Sources are reporting that a local law enforcement officer encountered the gunman who opened fire at Donald Trump’s Pennsylvania rally just moments before he fired at the former president.
