Official Trump Attempted Assassination at his Rally Thread

[jamil]

Anyone in the crowd injured?

Ueah. I just saw an interview with someone in the crowd who said someone near them was shot and went down. She thought it may have been fatal. Also MTG tweeted several people were shot and one possibly fatally.

"Shooter's down" would imply the shooter was shot/killed? Or just arrested alive and no longer a thread?
If he was in the crowd maybe he was jumped by people around him.

I'm not an expert, but I think it means arrested/under control/not a threat

No word on who this was. Hopefully not one of the supporters.

Grasping for an alternate narrative. No, journalism is not at all broken.

To be fair I saw some right wing pundits posting about noises, popping sounds, etcetera.

One of the first things I thought of after hearing this was the thread on here a few days ago asking if the divide between the left and right could be bridged.

No. No it cannot.

I kinda figured multiple pops. and an ear isn't going to stop much.

That was really fast, right after the last shots could be heard.
I assume the shooter was real close to be identified and neutralized that quickly.
Not a shooter hundreds of yards away ...

Unless the people shouting that were relaying something they heard on the radio and the shooter was sa great distance away?

Maybe saying "shooter" meaning there is a shooter and "down" meaning get down.

Maybe a couple inches to the left and this country might look a lot differently in a year.

An inch to the left would have missed completely.

I strongly suspect the shooter was not a US citizen.

Spend 6-ish years saying he’s “literally Hitler” and you’ll have things like this

Exactly right!

From The View to Jake Tapper to Jimmy Kimel. All hate speech and bear responsibility for this...

I would think somebody had to be. They were pack in there and he got off several shots.
Rule 4, that pesky part about what's behind your target.

Lol. Had a biden moment.

With possibly dozens of shots fired and such a large crowd standing all around the stage I assume some people might be injured.

Its time to get serious, boys. This is not a game.

Grasping for an alternate narrative. No, journalism is not at all broken.

I really think you are beating the wrong drum. Most headlines were calling it loud noises etc because they are still trying to confirm. Pretty hard to tell a story in real time with 100% accuracy.

All of the news sites are self correcting as further info comes in.

has it mostly or always been republicans that have this happen to them? well maybe not... Kennedy

No. No it cannot.

If there was any chance previously, it is forever gone.

ABC just reported that the district attorney reported the shooter is dead. At least one spectator is dead and another critically wounded.
