A gunman who tried to kill Donald Trump was able to fly a drone and get aerial footage of the western Pennsylvania fairgrounds shortly before the former president was set to speak there, law-enforcement officials briefed on the matter said, further underscoring the stunning security lapses ahead of Trump’s near assassination.

My hypothesis is that he did shoot rounds 4 - 8. Round 9 was pretty delayed but was a kill shot on him.
Rounds 1 -3 might have come from the two-story window.
If there is video showing the shooter popping off the rounds then things would be settled in my mind.
As it is, the "signature" of 1 - 3 seems to be different, as the podium mic pics them up supersonic speed after they go by, than 4 - 8. Shot 9 was definitely suppressed - which the sharpshooters had. Guessing the prone sharpshooter took him out.
Nothing really to see there. The dark shadow they refer to is simply shadow from the sun. The "movement" of the shadow is due to movement of the camera. Nobody was up there.
About the only thing he didn’t do is set up a “street taco” and Snow Cone food truck.
Trump had to be have turned his head about 100° CW (3:20 o'clock direction) from front & center of the stage for the shot from the bear-crawler's position to graze by his temple and through the upper lobe of his ear. That's about right from the diagram in the link below.
If the screen he was looking at was above the bleachers on his right, at almost 4:00 o'clock direction, Trump's eyes would have been looking just slightly to the right. That all seems correct for the temple & ear to line up with the bear crawler's position.
Yes. Yes you have. We've seen it so many times. We got it. Maybe next time you should put it in ALL CAPS with a bunch of exclamations points.
Dan Bongino has said for several days that these individuals were from the Dept. of Homeland Security, NOT Secret Service.
What about the hypothesis of two shooters - one in the second floor room with a window? For Crooks to get shots 1 - 3 off within just a few seconds of sweeping the police officer with his muzzle seems pretty quick.
Thinking a more professional sharpshooter got the first 3 off - then Crooks sprayed 4 - 8. 9 was suppressed and was the kill shot from the CST.
Here’s a thought..
Someone in power arranges to contact a person who talks about hating Trump and wishes him ill. Someone who is active on Social Media. Suppose a person with money hires someone to contact that No Trumper under a fake name.
Suppose the faker has money and clout and takes the No Trumper under his/her wing and arranges to GUIDE HIM AND HELP HIM TO DO THE EVIL.
I’m sorry...Secret Service HAS MADE NO MEANINGFUL COMMENTS NOR OFFERED ANY EXPLANATION and furthermore:
THIS 20 YEAR OLD KID WAS NO AMATEUR.
Yes, yes, some, yes.
Expert analysis of the audio proves there were at least 3 guns used in the attempted assasination. Possibly 4, including the shot by the SS sniper that killed the perp on the roof. Shots 1, 2, and another definitely from the 20-year-old. Others from a secondary gunman possibly from inside nearby building.

With the timing of everything, it makes more sense that shots 3 - 8 were from Crooks. They were more on the wild side, and would have allowed time for him to recover from muzzle sweeping the cop in the opposite direction of the shot and get his position.
If he recovered and got off shots 1 - 3 then he definitely was good enough for the high school rifle team unless he'd been practicing an awful lot lately.
Too many things happened that would require more life experience than a 20-year old possesses.
In his car or in the white van?
Hmmmm. Did the drone have a camera, and maybe an sd card?
Will anyone ever know?
Occam’s Razor…..simplest complete scenario.
My guess is that Crooks killed the fire chief, wounded the other two men, and hit the bleacher railing and the hydraulic hose. The actual sniper fired three rounds in rapid succession just as Trump turned his head. Finally, the defensive sniper shot Crooks dead.
And ballistics will never be revealed.
But I don’t know about anything.
I second your description. I doubt if the kid was such a great shot.
Me, either...
Thank you; I have followed the JFK assassination for years. Both that and this seem to be cases which certain authorities either let happen or made to happen.
Rats. I was thinking of the Mel Gibson “Payback”.

Good points ... the shot that hit the person near the aisle between the grandstand sections would line up better with probable paths if it came from one of the 2-story windows.
