They identified the guy as Thomas Matthew Crooks from a town about an hour away from the rally. He was 20, registered as a Republican but donated to Democrat causes. I've seen a close-up photo of the shooter dead on the roof, looks older than 20. Long hair, goatee.
Zero answers to anything yet. I've also watched a video of Trump being shot with two snipers on the roof top above and behind him aiming at this guy but not taking him out until shots were fired. So they knew he was there and did nothing. They guy they attribute to shooting him actually seems to pull back from his rifle right before Trump was hit. I'm thinking it was the second guy that actually took the shot.
140 yards away, police were notified there was a guy on the roof but obviously nothing done until he fired the shots, witnesses watched him crawl up the roof.
Three bystanders were hit. One is dead, two are critically injured. No names for any of them.
Shooters house invaded overnight, nothing reported as of this morning.
The whole video you see is very misleading. It looks like there are people seated directly behind Trump. They are actually probably 20 feet away. There is a normal sized stage likely 10 ft deep and the podium is at the front of it. Then a grassy area and then the bleachers. There is also some distance between the crowd in front of the podium and the stage. Those that were hit were most likely in another set of bleachers to Trumps let, camera right which can't be seen in the videos. This set comes forward and is perpendicular to the stage rather than parallel like the one behind.
there is also a third set of bleachers mirror imaged on the right, camera left.
Likely no teleprompter hit so the glass theory is out. Trump doesn't use them at rallies and none are seen in any of the videos, bad reporting. There is a photo showing the bullet passing behind Trump which is pretty fantastical if you ask me. I know it's theoretically possible, but it's also much more easily faked. If it is real, it's incredible.
