Secret Service Killed the Shooter
One attendee was killed in the fire as well
Secret Service shot and killed a suspected shooter at a Trump rally in Pennsylvania after shots were fired, according to law enforcement officials
Former President Donald Trump is safe after shots were fired at a campaign rally in Butler, Pa., Saturday. The Secret Service shot and killed a suspected shooter, according to law enforcement officials.
At least one attendee was killed at the rally, according to a law enforcement official.
A spokesman later said Trump is “fine and being checked out at a local medical facility” after being hustled off stage.
Details on the suspected shooter were not immediately available. It was also not clear what type of weapon was used.
U.S. Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said on X that the Secret Service has “implemented protective measures and the former President is safe.”
Messages of concern and support for Trump poured in immediately from President Biden, top Democrats and Republicans as well as former Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush–all decrying political violence
Two dead. The shooter killed by the Secret Service and an attendee killed by the as of yet unnamed shooter
Update # 2- included in the tweet below is the image of the alleged shooter on the roof- some are claiming a shooter, others are claiming sniper. I find it difficult to believe a sniper would have grazed Trump’s ear unless that was the plan?

‘What happened? Hubby say’s it’s possible as silencer was used? In some of the videos I viewed, there are sounds of shots, but, not really sure if it’s bullets or some type of pellet gun? Which is still scary enough! And can hurt like hell, so, my intention is not to downplay the incident. It’s early as this just happened live and televised- There is a whole lot of division in the US, same as in Canada..
Additionally, I’m concerned about the false flag potential
It was probably a lone gunman, as usual.
Looks as if it was- and the shooter, so far unnamed is dead
An attendee was also killed by the shooter- I’ve just updated the above post
I see 3 or 4 uniformed police in picture, don’t see a ‘civilian’ shooter. CBC says shooter was 100 yards away from target which precludes a planned ear shot. Small caliber weapon but not pellet gun, there were multiple serious casualties. Looks to me like a “pro” hit gone wrong. Look out for narrative creation on shooter motive. I see deep state panic attempt.
Secret Service failure…can’t we count the snipers?
Hey Mark
when I go to twitter I can see the alleged shooter, but, the whole image doesn’t come through here- sorry 🙁
going to see if I can find the image elsewhere- if I can I’ll update
