        just saw the news at it was kinda wierd. did not seem like anyone behind him got hit and he was hit in the ear and pumped his fist after ward. They said metal detectors are used so sounds like a sniper type thing. I sorta think they likely would figure out the origin. I wonder if they have him or are after them but don’t want to update yet.

          It seems odd that a bullet might have grazed his ear yet not shot anyone or anything behind him. Also, the picture of his bloodied ear and the splatter make it look like the shot came from behind him.

            Apparently one person is dead, another injured. Also, the shooter has been killed by the Secret Service. (According to CBC news).

            I wouldn’t be surprised if those people sitting behind him are deceptively far away.

                ok so they did get the shooter. Did they way if it was in front or behind?

                  No word on that yet, just that the shooter is confirmed dead + one other attendee, and a 2nd attendee is severely injured.

                    I was wondering as I heard injuries. Seems at this point it came from trumps right.

          • Especially at the angle he was standing. Either an amazing accident, or something suspicious. Still not sure if this wasn’t staged. The whole thing seems weird as hell.

          Did you see the cherry picker gush fluid and fall. I think a hydraulic line popped hit someone and police started shooting in that general direction as is usual.
