RE: They say Crooks got off three shots, then a second shooter fired five or six shots and a final shot some seconds later by the Counter Sniper killed Crooks.

Is the second shooter a security officer (e.g. sniper)? If not, who the heck is the other shooter?

The game is to hide damaging info because people make up their mind in the first 72 hours and then will not be moved off that understanding.

It’s no coincidence they hid the fact the Metal Detectors alarmed on him at 3:00pm, and they knew he was on the roof for 20 minutes, and now he used a drone to analyze the venue.

They aren’t sure if the analysis reveals two or three rifles. Their best guess is two shooters followed by the Counter Sniper shot.

There is fascinating acoustic analysis that shows shot echoes off a large flat wall for the first three shots, but no similar echoes for the next group of shots. He even postulates the lack of echo on the second group of shots was because the shooter was indoors.

He also examines the elevation of the shooter, the elevation of President Trump’s head, and the elevation of the wounded audience member. He concludes at least one bullet had to be fired with an upward slope, not downward from the building roof.

The second shooter was this guy taking Crooks down:

[Paul R.]

The 2nd group of shots, in the vid from near Crooks, were much louder, more rapid, and sound different.

The havoc wreaked on stage seems like “a lot” for only 3 shots, but, “could” happen with ricochets, and the bullet that clipped Trump almost certainly would go on to hit someone else.

8 or 9 shots with 5-6 being from a higher power rifle than the 1st 3, otoh, would almost certainly do more “damage’, if aimed at the stage area.

Surely it should be known by now if all the bullets that hit people in the stage area were the same type / caliber.

“Is the second shooter a security officer (e.g. sniper)? If not, who the heck is the other shooter?”

Early betting is the water tower.

Now they're saying that the first 3 shots came from a window behind Crooks who then fired a half dozen shots himself, before the last shot which killed Crooks came from the same window where the first 3 shots were fired.

The shooter in the window is probably buried in the desert already...it's how conspiracies work. He's probably still got the shovel! ;)
