    Yeah, no word yet on the shooter. Close enough to take a shot and SS, State and local LE everywhere and no mention of apprehension

    Trump handled that like a boss.

    I’d be more traumatized if I was half an inch from death.

    Emotions are going to run high, but please try to reel in the accusations. No one appears to know for sure what has happened.
    thanks

    Everything in the '24 presidential election just changed. What a week it's been.

    BTW, anyone know what Hunter Biden was doing this afternoon?

    From what I heard on the audio, SS said “shooter down”

    So some of those gunshots were likely the shooter being shot.

    Gotta love MSNBC. We have no idea what happened but there were some popping noises. At the bottom of screen: Trump injured at rally

    Dude was shot at in an assassination attempt but they can't say that I guess.

    Honestly it would be an epic failure to not catch the guy, it’s a failure to even allow a shot. To not apprehend someone immediately would be a ridiculous failing at that level of security. Have to assume they apprehended him, or returned fire and he’s dead.

    From Rep. Dan Meuser (R-PA) who was in the front row at the rally near Trump with Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA) and Pennsylvania GOP Senate Candidate Dave McCormick at the rally.

    Meuser says he heard 8-10 shots. Says it appears mulitple people in the crowd may have been hit and were down. Says that it sounded like a .22 or a small caliber weapon.

    Sad days for this country. Reminding me of the 60s if not worse

    All reports say trump is safe and fine. No info on the shooter.

    All the BS rhetoric playing the blame game isn't helpful.

    MSNBC just upgraded it to an "Incident" at rally. Nice job!
