    I have a photo, not sure I can see everything that surpmil says he can see in it but I'm inclined not to post it because frankly, it's pretty gross. They have him rolled over on his left side showing just his head and face. There is a 1 inch wide congealed track of blood going from the back of his head below his ear to his nose. It looks like he has a bad tooth or possibly a tooth was shot out on the right side of his mouth. There is a steam of blood coming out of his right ear and another stream coming from the back of his head through his hairline and across his forehead. I can determine no entry or exit wound and only see indications of one in the back of the head. Based on angle of the shot I'm aware of, entry wound should be on the left side of his forehead or temple which I can't see. It would be small, probably not a lot of blood from it.

    Upon magnification, it is possible the entry wound is through his upper lip on the left side, quite a bit of congealed blood there and it would explain the tooth perhaps. It might not be a tooth either but a piece of debris.

    I don't know where I found it, it was from yesterday. I can't find it today, possibly scrubbed. I do have it however but again, reluctant to post or upload to imgur. I don't want to lose my account for some stupid privacy issue.

    In additional news, it appears that the building from which the sniper was on the roof was the headquarters for the State Police sniper team. They were inside. The new theory on why the Secret Service snipers did not take him out is because they thought it may have been a State Police sniper on the roof. Poor communication and poor actions by the State Police.

    The entrance wound is just to the right of his Left eye. I'm printing copies of this for a poster in my Man cave.

    OK, I see it now. I agree that's the entry wound.

    Additional information, word of mouth but significant to me because I'm a coach.

    He tried out for and was turned down for the High School Rifle team. I did some research to find more out about this, they shoot 22's, probably prone as they have a max of 100 points in a match and score 8 for the match. My leagues uses air rifles and scores 5 for the match, we are also only prone.

    He apparently fired one shot from the extreme right side lane and hit the wall on the left side lane. This is not a bad shot, NO ONE is that bad of a shot. This is poor finger control and hitting the trigger while getting into position. I have never had anyone hit any target further than the one to their immediate left or right as they got confused as to which target they were aiming at. He was probably kicked off for a flagrant safety violation. Air rifles, you might get stung, some slight penetration, with 22's, you could be dead.

    This report is from two fellow students who also tried out for and made the rifle team.

    Gents, without becoming too gruesome, the whole socket of the left eye and the brow area above it have been detached and pushed forward and down, suggesting pretty conclusively that the entry wound is above and "behind" that area. The blood on the face is what gravity caused to run down as he lay face down on the roof after being killed. The photo shows him rolled onto his left shoulder by the attending officers. We know this because the two blood flows from behind the right ear would have had to defy gravity if he was found lying on his left side.

    One wonders what use the police tactical team would be inside a building at such times, and the same building no less.

    I found it on Reddit, from a user r/TheCapitalLink. I typed in on reddit's main page Trump shooter postmortem picture

    I haven't found a picture of the rifle yet either. I'm curios to know if he was using an optic, red dot, etc.
    One report I heard said those earliest sightings from spectators had him using a rangefinder, no rifle visible.

    That photo you posted the link to is the same photo only the quality is less, it's turned 90 degrees and it's a mirror image.

    As for the police vs secret service, they were both there. And the police were from several departments. They had the PA State Police, the Butler County Police and the Beaver County "response" team there which had no jurisdiction but were there anyway, not sure in what capacity.

    It's normal to have various departments at these events. Communication seems to have failed and this is all on the Secret Service who are to take charge completely in these situations. I have never heard of such a fiasco to be honest.

    Add to all this controversy, Secret Service personnel were diverted from the Trump event to an event where the 1st Lady appeared in nearby Pittsburg on the same day. This is idiocy because no one cares about the 1st Lady, no one is going to assassinate her, she needs minimal protection.

    Anyone that wants the photo, PM me your email address and I'll send it. I don't have the original link anymore, didn't save it, didn't think to.

    That's also a metal roof , One would think that the people inside that building would hear someone crawling and flopping around on the roof

    Has the shooter's brief participation on a HS shooting been confirmed?
