Looks like someone took some shots at prez candidate Donald Trump at a rally in PA. From the videos I’ve seen, it looks like he did get grazed.

    My evidence (in addition to the weirdness of his reaction, and the convenient blood) - has any article mentioned a shooter being seen/shot/arrested/known to exist? I can’t remember a time where there was a shooting and no article said ANYTHING about a shooter, only about the shots. Nothing could be better for the Trump campaign than for him to be “almost” assassinated.

      Shooter dead and audience member killed

      A person believed to be a shooter at today’s Donald Trump Pennsylvania rally is dead, as well as an audience member in attendance, the Butler County District Attorney has said.

      In addition to the two fatalities, one other person is believed to be in a critical condition.

          Sure. It could have been faked.

          On the other hand, if I was an unhinged person with a gun and I thought there was a good chance a fascist dictator might run the U.S., I might be inclined to try to do something about it.

          There’s no reason not to rule something like that out.

            Yeah the truth is we don’t know. There are lots of possible causes we can’t rule out at this point, it seems dangerous for a publicity stunt, but it’s possible. Someone afraid and somewhat unhinged, among other possibilities.

        Wonder if this should be posted as a new article to the news communities? It’s important, more relevant information.

          Unfortunately that’s just one update on a page with regular updates. You would have to find a better link.
