Looks like some sort of injury to Trump, likely superficial.

People need to stop with the disgusting comments, someone has died for fucks sake.

Oh wow really?

Calm down @rumblegrumble

Yes, I'm worried about her😬

I don't believe that Trump set this up.

However, I've just seen the image taken by that photographer who runs to the left hand side of the dais in the footage. Trump is surrounded by secret service agents, there is blood streaming down his face, he looks defiant and, the cherry on the cake, there is an American flag flapping in the background. It is a fantastic image. It's going to win him the election.

Fuck.

You might be right.

It's an amazing shot and I have to give him credit for presence of mind under pressure.

It's depressing to think he will win again.

EsmaCannonball · 14/07/2024 00:14

Witness on BBC News saying the shooter was a man crawling along the roof of a nearby building with a rifle. He says he and his friends tried pointing him out to the police and secret service. He says the shooter had his head blown off.

HollyKnight · 14/07/2024 00:14

It's bizarre. Only a few of the people directly behind him moved. By moved, I mean they just kind of ducked a little. If someone was shooting at the person standing in front of me, I would have got the fuck out of there pronto.

DottyDazed · 14/07/2024 00:15

I can see someone from the crowd being interviewed now, who says that they saw man with a gun crawling up onto a roof, and that him and his friend spent 3/4 minutes gesturing to the police and secret service, while watching the man get to the roof, and the police/secret service just seemed confused and failed to react until he actually started shooting! I’m certainly not saying it’s a conspiracy but they don’t seem to have been prepared.

Sky just reported that but they are not saying who.

One person has died.

Shame on those posters claiming this was a publicity stunt.

Oh God. Could it possibly be the shooter?

.22 can still enter the skull. It was either a glancing hit and he was very lucky, or air/bb weapon.

Lillly1 · 14/07/2024 00:15

Apparently it is the gunman who has been shot.

Cecilly · 14/07/2024 00:15

I would think twice before asking someone to shoot me in the ear as a "red flag" event. It's a bit nuts.

Fucking disgusting comments here. You consider yourselves the good guys?! Think I'll happily be supporting the bad guy then, can't have any worse morals - at least he's not watching a fucking assassination attempt and sneering about how awful the victim is, or that it's probably orchestrated. If you're watching someone being shot at and your reaction is anything other than "oh fuck, please let him be ok!" then you are a scummy, scummy person and however you're voting, I want to be on the other team.

Did he have anything nice to say about Nancy Pelosi’s husband when one of his supporters broke in to their home looking to kill Nancy?

That of course changes everything, although it doesn’t speak highly of the man that it’s not hard to think such things.

That image is incredible and I think you are right, it could win him the election.

Horrible that someone has died.

This is outrageous. Scary times. Terrible for Melania and Barron to have to witness that. I hope this seals the election for him. The democrats have tried every possible means to cancel him.

You don't know what they knew and how fast, though. They might have thought it was stones thrown or firecrackers.

BruceWillissDribble · 14/07/2024 00:16

Who's died anyway? The shooter or someone innocent?

Shots were from the side. Not sure what that makes you.

You can't seriously believe this is a democrat initiative.

InWalksBarberalla · 14/07/2024 00:18

There is some footage of the security pulling someone unresponsive out of the back corner of the stand. From their treatment I'd assume it's the shooter rather than an innocent victim.

They're not saying on sky yet, but the gunman is sort of who you'd expect to be fatally shot.

If there was shots fired and they missed trump, how have they not hit the people behind him. Wouldn't surprise me if Trump set this up, to drum up his supporters.

That was exactly my thoughts.

InWalksBarberalla · 14/07/2024 00:19

MargaretThursday · 14/07/2024 00:18

Have you watched the footage? The shot is from the side, so why would it hit someone in the crowd behind him. Makes no sense.
