It's possible. That said,

Neither or the candidates is known for his nuisance and detailed statements. I'm just passing along what I heard. Don't bet the house on what I post.

State police saying Trump was hit by glass from teleprompter that was shot.
HokieGator • 07/13/24 08:35 PM ET
To close this- the teleprompters not hit as seen post shooting**
Concord Dan • 07/14/24 07:00 PM ET
Eh...what's the alleged distance?
JoesterVT • 07/13/24 10:41 PM ET
Yeah. Now it seems like about 150 yds. So not an insanely difficult shot
HokieGator • 07/13/24 10:45 PM ET

bigbadbird • 07/13/24 09:41 PM ET
well he missed everything **
bigbadbird • 07/13/24 09:34 PM ET
The teleprompter was intact after the shooting**
TomTurkey • 07/13/24 09:30 PM ET
If his head was turned a little bit the other way...**
ColoVT82 • 07/13/24 09:03 PM ET
We have one candidate dodging cognitive tests and one dodging bullets**

Debunked by Trump**
mlewisr • 07/13/24 09:02 PM ET
Yeah. He saw the bullet 😂**
VT Pops • 07/13/24 09:22 PM ET
Never said that**
TomTurkey • 07/13/24 09:58 PM ET
Yeah he never exaggerates or lies **

He got better!

Aw. He’s just being folksy!**
HokieHam • 07/13/24 09:39 PM ET
Which happened while he was driving an 18 wheeler for the Civil Rights
MCL3 Hokie • 07/13/24 09:34 PM ET

jdkhokie • 07/13/24 09:32 PM ET
Yes and meanwhile, the media's record is spotless.**
MP4VT2004 • 07/13/24 09:17 PM ET
Trump released a statement just a few
GCHokieof91 • 07/13/24 09:02 PM ET
It's possible. That said, ◄
HokieGator • 07/13/24 09:05 PM ET
And CBS was quick to point out that contradicted reports they received.**

Secret service has some explaining to do. No rooftop with LoS should be un
ColoVT82 • 07/13/24 09:01 PM ET
Complete failure of basic security principles and procedures **
Brewing_Hokie • 07/13/24 10:36 PM ET
Then there’s this…..**
HokieHam • 07/13/24 10:01 PM ET
150 yards away……how is that allowed to happen?
HokieHam • 07/13/24 09:38 PM ET
Hard to see how this isn't major foxtrot uniform**
ColoVT82 • 07/13/24 09:49 PM ET
That’s my initial reaction: major screw up by the Secret Service here
Zanderhokie • 07/13/24 09:45 PM ET
If they could see to take down, should have seen beforehand
TomTurkey • 07/13/24 09:35 PM ET
Heads need to roll. Head of detail and head of USSS is a good start.**
ColoVT82 • 07/14/24 08:07 AM ET
It appears the shooter on the roof was pointed out to the SS
RJHokie • 07/13/24 09:41 PM ET
There is no excuse for that roof to be not covered by SS.
Atlee Hokie • 07/13/24 10:53 PM ET
Even worse is the snipers should’ve seen that
Brewing_Hokie • 07/13/24 10:37 PM ET
I agree. The incompetence is off the charts.**
WestEndHokie39 • 07/13/24 10:56 PM ET
Agree.
RJHokie • 07/13/24 10:48 PM ET
Tbh at the distance almost anyone could’ve made those shots but the ability
Brewing_Hokie • 07/13/24 10:56 PM ET
People were trying to get the attention of Agents ...
Atlee Hokie • 07/13/24 11:11 PM ET
Yup. Pathetic and catastrophic failure. **
Brewing_Hokie • 07/13/24 11:17 PM ET
I think the spectators said they pointed it out to the PA state police
Zanderhokie • 07/13/24 09:47 PM ET
Here’s the link**
RJHokie • 07/13/24 09:48 PM ET
CBS interviewed that spectator.**
MP4VT2004 • 07/13/24 09:45 PM ET
Yep. See link.**
RJHokie • 07/13/24 09:46 PM ET
That's not the guy I saw CBS interview...

mancunian • 07/13/24 09:04 PM ET
Should not go another day without SS
TomTurkey • 07/13/24 09:38 PM ET
Don't bet on it. Remember the FBI's order for the raid of Trump's FL...
EDGEMAN • 07/13/24 09:17 PM ET
This is a perfect example of facts and such being distorted. Your post
AbsolutVT03 • 07/13/24 11:05 PM ET
When you are raiding a former president's residence, you DO NOT USE...
EDGEMAN • 07/14/24 07:34 AM ET
So your argument is that Trump was treated the same as literally anyone
AbsolutVT03 • 07/14/24 11:34 AM ET
The fact you condone that criminal action speaks volumes.**
EDGEMAN • 07/14/24 04:52 PM ET
You are delusional. I’m not “condoning” any criminal action. I’m refuting
AbsolutVT03 • 07/14/24 05:18 PM ET
Garland sent a FBI SWAT team and armed them with a "lethal force allowed"
EDGEMAN • 07/14/24 05:32 PM ET
You are just going in circles at this point and not really making any sort
AbsolutVT03 • 07/14/24 05:55 PM ET
Or a misunderstanding of reality as represented in your post

I understand just fine thanks. The post I replied to made it sound like
AbsolutVT03 • 07/14/24 06:01 AM ET
Russian Collusion, Hunter’s laptop was classic Russian Disinformation.
Hoakie82 • 07/14/24 01:04 AM ET
This is an example of whatsboutism and deflection. Nothing you posted is
AbsolutVT03 • 07/14/24 06:05 AM ET
No it’s a perfect example of true things the right points out or claims
Hoakie82 • 07/14/24 10:43 PM ET
First off quite a few of the things you posted are not truths but rather
AbsolutVT03 • 07/14/24 11:17 PM ET
I happen to believe what I said, are truths & don’t care what you believe
Hoakie82 • 07/15/24 12:11 AM ET
And therein lies the problem. Truths aren’t “what you believe” them to be.
AbsolutVT03 • 07/15/24 12:30 AM ET
You think you’re the arbiter of facts or truths & you aren’t. You’re just

ColoVT82 • 07/13/24 09:15 PM ET
Someone suffered a "head shot" and was killed.**
EDGEMAN • 07/13/24 08:44 PM ET
My complete guess speculation is that person took the bullet that was meant
HokieAl • 07/13/24 09:06 PM ET
I suspect the fatal shot hit Trump's ear and then hit the victim.**
Atlee Hokie • 07/13/24 10:01 PM ET
If 9 shots total, any one could have hit the supporter**
TomTurkey • 07/13/24 10:10 PM ET
You are correct. I was thinking only 1 shot had been fired when I posted.**
Atlee Hokie • 07/13/24 10:36 PM ET
There's still some vagueness. One reported guy shot was to Trump's right.
TomTurkey • 07/13/24 10:56 PM ET
There will be conspiracies flying on all sides of the aisle on this one.
