Shots Fired At President Trump's Butler PA Rally!


Busted? Like being on camera putting cardboard over the windows and stealing the 2020 election busted?

And we all know how that turned out.

Please, notify me when someone is arrested, not fired or allowed to resign, but arrested for plotting to kill Pres. Trump. My direct line is 513 444-ASGH.
 

It was almost certainly a frontal shot, and from the one pic it looked like he was hit in the mouth. Likely a CNS shot, and likely no exit wound like taking a frontal shot on a buck. Light switch was turned off, not pumper going, and no exit wound = not much blood. This tracks with what I observed, so I think this is off base.
 
Ok, if this is true and there were two shooters, than I'd venture to say both were killed.

That explains the dead guy that looks like Yernick with the ear guage scar.
I couldn't tell if that was an ear guage scar or just blood that made it look like that scar. Either way, 99.99% chance we'll never know the real story.

I told you. If he got shot in the mouth with a .30 cal. round, it should have blown the back of his throat / neck out.
 
He was rushed. Saw a video of bystanders yelling, “he’s got a gun!” moments before the first shot. He knew he’d been made and likely rushed the shot. Add to that he probably wasn’t well trained and likely drugged up and you get a miss. I also think he may have hit a teleprompter or something else between him and DJT.
I think local cops had hoisted someone up that spotted him as well. The shooter turned on him, causing him to fall, then was shooting shortly thereafter. Don't think we have time markers yet, or ever, but they put a call out on the tax channel of shooter on the roof at that point.

If you put a pic of a live Yernick and Crooks on a split screen and put the pic of the dead ear guage guy below without studying, which one would you say it is?

They have video of Crooks casing the buildings and on the roof and then they have the older looking ear guage guy with darker hair death pic. I say two people / shooters.

Which pictures?

There was one posted earlier on here that had as one of the comparison photos a picture of a guy who was not even the shooter, so it should be no suprise that his ear is different from the dead guy on the roof.

I would think so as well, with normal projectiles.

What would happen if the USSS used a lightweight frangible bullet?

I have seen several folks shot in the head, unfortunately.

Never in my experience have I seen someone shot in the head with a .30 caliber rifle round at 150 yards or more, so I have no real idea what the result would be from my own experience.

Do you two, or anybody else, have any direct personal experience with that? If so, could you share it for us?

Note to the peanut gallery, I am not asking those who have zero experience to give their uninformed guesses. I could have tossed out an ignorant guess all by myself.

Just a simple question, but had LE/SS already been on the roof before this shot was taken? You cant see the blood stream down the roof (towards the edge you can see some, but not like after the body was moved), but his rifle is like 6-8' away? I assume they had been, but I wouldn't think they would leave this scene.

Blood after they moved the body

EDIT: How long until some guntuber shoots one of the ballistic dummy heads with a 308/300WM at 150? lol

Oh, don't get me wrong, not disagreeing - I just couldn't tell in the one photo if it was blood or a guaged out ear without the jewelry.

The angle of the roof made it harder to tell though ;).

No, I haven't seen anybody shot down the gullet with a .300 Win. Mag or even a 30-06, but I bet there would be a massive exit wound, especially if the person were a pencil neck like Crooks and Yernick.
 
Hey fellars. I guess I'm one of those "been here a long time" (18 years), and low message count (109) guys. Mostly because I typically come here (and ARFCOM, Longrangehunting, 24hourcampfire, accurateshooter, etc) to read and learn, regarding precision shooting. Also until recently just busy with a heavy workload career in Engineering/Operations/Systems (retired after 40 years end of 2022). I very much respect the wisdom and experience of you collectively and have learned a lot. Thank you. Please indulge me on a question.

Something's been nagging at me, that I haven't seen much discussion on. It's probably nothing. Without diving into the distraction of myriad conspiracy theory possibilities, wouldn't it be useful to determine, with certainty, whether the bullet that grazed DJT actually came from the shooter on the roof? It seems odd that a 20 year old dork, probably untrained, rushed by being spotted, probably with a 1x red dot, jacked up living his wet dream, etc, makes a cold bore 130 yard shot that close to center. An easy slam dunk for you guys I know, but I've seen plenty like that "person" at the range, rested with a higher power scope, with plenty of time, nearly always spray all over at much shorter distances. Maybe just luck.

The nagging part is that clear photo, capturing the actual bullet in flight just past DJT, a lengthy blur indicating a portion of it's actual trajectory. To me that is actual empirical evidence, related to one of the most important events in human history. Assuming of course the photo is genuine, and that's the same bullet that hit his ear. Looking at all the 3D rendering analyzing the timing of DJT's head turn makes me wonder. Could the trajectory of the bullet in the photo be traced back to it's origin? Not sure how one would account for azimuth just with that photo, but I'm no expert. Elevation alone might be telling. Can it be done?

If that trajectory led, for example, to a spot in the brush, and the dweeb was just cover for a real assassin, seems that would be important.

Obviously I don't write here much. What spurred me was a CNN article, with audio analysis of the gunshots, concluding (iirc) three from the shooter, five quick responses, then later the suppressed final shot. I thought, now why in the world would CNN be doing audio analysis....? I've learned that when CNN says something, just immediately assume the opposite is true. Works pretty well, and again it made me wonder about the shot.

Food for thought if nothing else.

Headshot with a .30 cal frangible type bullet at or around 150 yards? No that’s why I asked the question. I’ve heard that some various LEOs use them.

I am going to start off by saying, I do not share anything that we know internally which is not clear public knowledge. So please bear with me on that respect.

We already know the USSS CS teams use both Rem 700 LA 300 Win Mags with 215s custom loaded from Berger.

We also know the USSS CS teams use mid range SR25s with 6X Acogs and Berger 308 ammo (Won't share what load as I don't see it public at this time).

We already know the rifle and ammo the shooter used.

We already know what optic the shooter had, but I am not able to find a public response to what it was so mums the word outside of that.

What type of optic I have no idea but there was an optic and I am hoping we get an actual picture of the rifle utilized. The picture I looked at was too fuzzy for me to make a claim but I could make out an optic of some sort. #10 is from various sources but the local law enforcement aspect is represented here and the SS aspect in the following article.


Yes, SR25s are always on hand as the mid-range. However if the SR25 was or was not the rifle that made the kill shot will likely not come out for a while more. It is also important to point out, the local LE sniper is on Admin leave (which is SOP) because he fired on the shooter (but missed) so you need to account for that.

FYSA every thread on LRH having to do with this subject gets deleted. Not sure about the other sites.

Wondering why CNN is doing that as well.

I have no experience with gunshot humans. Sketch out the geometry involved between a prone crooks, the cs teams, elevations, and flight path. Is it possible the bullet continued on in the torso?

Where ... was it reported?

How about a link to a story as long as it's not 4chan or reddit.
I knew doc mentioned it earlier in the thread but seems I also saw it a second time. A lot of stories/vids being deleted it seems. Still looking.

How does that jive with him making at least 1 political donation?
He might not have actually done that on purpose or with intent. Could have been via the parents, or he signed up for some service through a third-party that made a donation, or who knows. I got a letter in the mail once that thanked me for a donation made on my behalf without my knowledge through some organization. I forgot the details.
 
Something to ponder: shooter might have taken a perfect shot at President Trump.
He might have missed because he bought the ammo that morning. True zero’s can shift using same ammo different lot or he bought a different brand same caliber and weight bullets, but velocities and components are different from brand to brand. Has anyone thought of this? 😳
I don't think he missed, he was on target. The target moved and he was not good enough to know head is on a swivel . especially trumps. Now Biden's might have been a completely different story.

This guy reports from "a source in the SS" he knows that the kill shot was with an SR-25. Looking at the pictures of the 2 sniper teams we have pics of I do not see an SR-25. Am I missing that somewhere?

I'm clearly seeing Nightforce optics on the USSS CS rigs... Or are we talking about different snipers?

Take any profession these days, the new hires, do they really take their job seriously?
For the most part, they wear sunglasses and play on their phones.
There really isn't any hard training, or apprenticeships.
They are complacent.
They don't expect the unexpected, or are prepared for it when "It" happens.
They dress up and "look the part" but can they really do their job?
Small town, mid America and they were not prepared for the unexpected.
It's a new world in the new hire department.
 
OK, ladies and gentlemen today is Wednesday. They just announced that Biden has Covid. This is them laying the groundwork for him to drop out right here. You heard it first.
What is this the 3rd time? That vaccine is safe and effective. He would have probably had it 10 times without that. Good thing he's covered! Otherwise, it "probably" would be a lot worse too.
 

It was almost certainly a frontal shot, and from the one pic it looked like he was hit in the mouth. Likely a CNS shot, and likely no exit wound like taking a frontal shot on a buck.

i would agree with the ERd. a 300wm entering in mouth,if that is the case would blow out the back of neck at c4-5 (?). angle of entry and a bunch of other consids but i just don't see a WM or 308 staying in,not exiting. so,another addition to the huge pile of puzzles and questions and takes on it all.

One of the known SR25s was being operated by the first female USSS CS in the departments history. She is a good person and incredibly capable, and should not be looped into any BS. Thats a USSS CS patch, a Garmin Tactix watch, SR25 with a Trijicon 6X ACOG on a RRS tripod.

But can she re holster her sidearm after drawing her weapon? All bullshit aside, no one cares about gender as long as they earned it the same way. Part of me hopes this woman put the bullet in the guys head. It’ll make the others look even worse. But let’s ask an obvious question here, how is a 5’4” female going to shield a guy that’s like 6’2”?

I have been saying that in my job for years. Now days company men do the permit , like you said, wear eye shades and play on a iPad and or their phone. Few years ago one of these guys had a flat tire and tried to change it. Truck rolled off jack when he got wheel off ground. The DA turned it in as a near miss and wanted a investigation. I was on committee, asked young man if he had it in park, parking brake fully engaged and opposite wheel chocked with something ? He said no. Asked why and which steps he omitted ? No chock of any kind and no emergency brake applied . I ask why ? Said ,well it wasn't a emergency and no ones ever told me to chock opposite wheel. I have never changed a flat on side of road before in my life. So management decisions after data goes in. No one driving a company truck are to ever change a flat ever again. Dumbing down America....
 
Interesting chatter that I'm reading on other social media platforms about the picture taken with the blurred image of the bullet that supposedly pierced Trump's ear. I don't know anything about photography, but some people who have stated that the camera guy who took that photo was using a crazy high shutter speed. Something on the order of 1/8000 or some gibberish. Like he knew something fast was going to happen so he needed the high shutter speed. I may not even be using the right terminology for that. Does anyone in here have knowledge of photography and can provide some perspective?

I stopped when he said the reason Trump was under protected was because of "financial issues."

Bullshit. They had money to trump up bogus charges to convict him of a felony so they could pull his SS protection and kill him. And thats what they did here, pulled his SS protection so they could kill him.
