One person 'believed to be dead' with a second 'possible': District Attorney

Butler County District Attorney Richard Goldfinger reportedly said one person is believed to be dead and 'possibly a second.'

He said the person believed to be dead was 'someone in the crowd.'

I am watching video of the alleged gunman lying dead. He is on top of a container outside the security perimeter.  CBS is reporting he was shot in the head by the Secret Service.

Two shooters? Maybe. Maybe we will get the truth in a day or so.

Reports the shooter and an audience member are dead
Shooter will no doubt be proclaimed as a hero by the left

Pretty much everyone is reporting it as "a shooter" and "gun shots", and MSNBC still has this on their main page:

Quote
Secret Service: Trump safe after being rushed off Pennsylvania stage after gunshot-like sounds

I saw statements from Biden, Obama, and Bush, which I have to say were all pretty fair and non-political and didn't mention gun control. Even Gabby Giffords only mentioned "political violence". I didn't see anything from Mr or Mrs Clinton.

Already heard CBS reporter accusing the Trump campaign of “raising the temperature” because of their comments after the shooting.

MSNBC is finally saying "gun shots", and CNN is actually saying "assassination attempt".

Trump will do anything to upstage Biden and try to slow the trajectory of the polls that show Biden is rising.

Also the "It was staged" talk has started, mostly because of the flag image. Pretty sure the best shooter in the world couldn't do an ear graze from distance (or close up, and who would let him?). Happens in the movies all the time though.

I'm watching a Megyn Kelly live feed. Shooter was taken out by an SS sniper. It's reported the shooter had a rifle. Supposedly they scan for stuff at these rallies, but I'm unsure. Folding rifle of some kind?

Don't forget there have been dems calling for the removal of Trump's SS protection

Yeah, the video of what appears to be the dead shooter shows him on top of a roof nearby.

Yeah, just saw that. The info is flowing fast and furious. It'll be a good day before we start getting non-conflicting info.

The 45th president was seen ducking down with blood coming from his ear. It has since been reported that he was injured by a piece of teleprompter shattered by a bullet.
