Closest to shooter on the left side of stage (left side of this image). So it would not hit Trump first. The victim would have been directly in the line of fire and not behind Trump. Again, all of this is assuming that this map and other info I’ve read is correct. I’m sure we will all have more info tomorrow.

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

Yes and meanwhile, the media's record is spotless.**

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.**

HokieHam • 07/13/24 10:01 PM ET
150 yards away……how is that allowed to happen?

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.

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.**

That's not the guy I saw CBS interview...

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

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

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

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.
