If he's uninjured then I have to assume this was staged.
Trump may have a slight injury to his ear.
For a less conspiratorial take, here's a NYTimes archive / live version :
Here's the cspan footage where you can see it for yourself: https://www.c-span.org/video/?c5123735/shots-fired-trump-rally
At least two confirmed dead:
You mean that innocent person. Surely the shooter isn't innocent...
Not staged. Two people dead and two critically injured, and Trump has a nicked ear.
Well that clears it up for me! There's just no way Trump would risk himself like that. This was real.
Idk about splatter, but how is it that, with all the people behind and around him, not a single one was struck by any of those missed shots? This improbable scene will generate unprecedented donations, as well as armed crackpots who will be going on vendettas.
The whole thing smacks of theatrics.
I'm hearing reporting that there is at least 1 attendee seriously injured or killed. This is still very recent, we don't have details yet.
There was someone shot other than Trump
Do the nut bag rights hate him that much already? Pretty safe to assume no Democrat would do that. They don’t attract those types.
As we all know, 0% of Democrats own guns.
They own them, but don’t use them on people for political reasons, that particular breed of stupid begins in red states.
Ah I see, 0% of Democrats have ever shot a single person.
Oh look. The shooter is a republican after all.
Yeah it's pretty funny - he donated to Democrats before too.
Radical centrism strikes again!
Not true at all. I've got several Democrat family member that own lots of guns
Hence the sarcasm.
He was shot by a sniper from a rooftop. Not staged
