The former president ducked to the floor as shots rang out and was mobbed by Secret Service agents, while the sniper, who was killed by security forces, has been named as Thomas Matthew Crooks.
There’s an extended video that shows a lift spewing hydraulic fluid with one more gunshot. I’m guessing homie moved and the secret service donated a bit more lead.
Edit. He was firing the left of the stage from our viewpoint, so he probably did hit the poor lift.
They get the fucker?
Nah, only grazed his ear.
Shooter is reported dead.
🤦🏿♂️
I’m confused how the shooter who was said to be a sniper on a rooftop several hundred yards away AND a bystander dies at the same time?
A secret service sniper responding to the shots?…
CNN is quoting local authorites saying the shooter +1 attendee are both dead.
+1 other attendee severely injured.
So, no.😞

I saw that, was that not a water mister to keep the crowd cool?
You can see the lift falling as it sprays. That would be a badass way to cool down, tho:
