Just waking up to this.

Unfortunatley, it felt like something like this may happen. This is going to be an interesting election to say the least.

It sounds like the shooter was just a inch or two away from being succesfull.

Yes, the bullet clipped Trump's right ear, drawing blood. Not just one shot, multiple shots ... one in the crowd behind him was fatally shot (apparently shot in the head) and two others are critically wounded.

His price would probably hit 1.1 if he was killed and pronounced brain dead.
he can't be pronounced brain dead. that only happens if he has a brain

Plot twist. What if the man killed was the target and Trump was a decoy....(been reading too many crime/murder novels)

The stupidity of some Republicans beggers belief. Biden is now blamed for saying five days ago, "It's time to put Trump in the bullseye". :roll:

That’s one big security failing. All adjacent buildings and rooftops are normally secured. There should be no blind spots for the secret service snipers. In this case there clearly was. Someone’s head will roll for sure.

You would think they'd have a helicopter airbourne, surveying the surrounding area.

Anyone see that version? Spooky watching the assassin just walking casually through the crowd.
