(AP) — Donald Trump was whisked off the stage at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania after apparent gunshots rang through the crowd. Trump was showing off a chart of border crossing numbers when bangs started ringing through the crowd. Trump could be seen reaching with his right hand toward his neck. There appeared to be blood on his face. (AP Photo/Evan Vucci) https://journa.host/@w7voa/112781555515525113

4/ Via Kyle Griffin:
#Trump campaign: President Trump thanks law enforcement and first responders for their quick action during this heinous act. He is fine and is being checked out at a local medical facility. More details will follow.
5/ Also via Griffin:
Pres. Biden has been briefed.
6/ Via Angry Staffer:
It did sound like smaller caliber gunfire. I hope he’s wrong about people in the crowd being hit, and the USSS has some serious questions to answer about its security posture.
Chad Pergram:
From Rep. Dan Meuser (R-PA) who was in front row at rally near Trump w Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA) & Pa GOP Sen Candidate Dave McCormick
Meuser says he heard 8-10 shots. Says it appears mult people in crowd may have been hit & were down. Says sounded like .22 or a small caliber weapon.
7/ I wanna puke. I just watched the video.
Trump's bleeding, raises his fist, pumps it and screams "Fight! Fight! Fight!"
I can't even. What a dick.
Possible Gunshots at Former President Trump's Rally
9/ Exactly as we all said:
Via @CherylA:
Am watching this on British TV right now - a spokesman for the campaign is on now - blaming the Democrats and Biden, saying that Dems were behind and resorted to try to assassinate him. “He didn’t need this - he loves this country. We all need to pray”.
Shitshow.
10/ A suspect has been neutralized by Secret Service after possible shots fired at Donald Trump's rally in Butler, Pennsylvania-- CBS News
11/ WaPo's Meryl Kornfield:
Butler county district attorney Richard Goldinger tells me Trump was grazed by gunfire but is safe. An audience member was killed and the shooter is dead. Another person is in serious condition, the prosecutor said.
12/ Aaaaand cue the damn cover photo of Trump bleeding, pumping his fist for the camera.
Because that's exactly what's being shared by the MSM on social.
Martyr Trump. Brave Trump. Survivor Trump.
OMFG. OMFG.
I hate our press sometimes.
13/ Okay, we'll see. As I said earlier, I wait for facts, not maybes. But judging from the photo, could very well be:
Via Axios' Juliegrace Brufke:
“Glass fragments not a bullet hit Trump,” a source familiar tells me.
Jette10@GottaLaff
I appreciate you reporting just the facts. Thank you.
I appreciate you reporting just the facts. Thank you.
@jeanettepizzurro Thank YOU!
PeterIt's a shame that more people don't just stick with the known facts rather than wandering off into the reeds around conspiracy theories.
Thank you for being you.
The Right are saying it was everything from an upset Biden supporter to Biden himself issuing the order (though why would Seal Team 6 miss?), and the Left are saying it is everything from a Trump supporter upset over his softened stance on abortion to Trump organising a "failed assasination attempt" in order to bump his numbers in the polls.
I like to think that the Left are smart enough to know that a martyred Trump is way more dangerous for America than the current criminal is, and the Right know they need Trump in the Whitehouse to stand a chance of regaining power.

Pamela Barroway – Biz Editor@GottaLaff Sometimes? ALL the time. Ugh.
@PamelaBarroway No, they do some great investigative reporting
@GottaLaff True enough — but many are failing in this moment.
@GottaLaff I don’t even want to think about what the next few days are going to be like.

@GottaLaff @Nerd2PointO I knew what happened to the Challenger before a lot of the general public did. The TV station where I was doing my internship had just gotten a 1 inch machine in to test it, so I got to see frame by frame. They switched to the long lens very shortly before the seal let go. We were able to watch it one frame at a time, each frame being 1/30th of a second apart. We saw the seal flame out.
I say all that to say I’d love to see the various camera angles one frame at a time. It won’t happen, but I’d love to see it just the same.

JohnWYeah me too. That dramatic urgency in the tone of the live reporters makes my stomach turn.
duan allen@GottaLaff
Trump knows them well.
Trump knows them well.
Breathe@GottaLaff you noticed that too. Very fishy, very staged, sure someone died but not anybody Trump considers "important". Nice inside Job by MAGA.
wlf_warrenThey find a way to 'slant' everything!
Rora Borealis@GottaLaff I am so fucking pissed off. He is a terrible danger to everything good, and I hate that this gave him such a good photos, and it's going to stir up sympathy.
Ugh.
I'm gonna log off and have a beer.
MarkRDavid"neutralized"? Is that anything like neutered?
Old Man in the Shoe@MarkRDavid @GottaLaff Yes, he's dead.
Norman WilsonWith your permission, I'd like to use that someday, in a future book... 😆
John Meadows@GottaLaff @CherylA a gift-wrapped narrative for the right.
@Jgmeadows Absolutely @CherylA
I pray they aren't Spanish. If so we're cooked.
@GottaLaff @CherylA this sounds so set up
TheNovemberFella ✊🏳️🌈 🇺🇦☸️🛰️🚀@GottaLaff Wishing Donnie all my thoughts and prayers 🙄
I'm sure that will fix everything.
M.S. Bellows, Jr.@TheNovemberMan @GottaLaff I believe in prayer. I'm praying for the health and longevity of any bacteria that entered his bloodstream through the bullet nick.

Sounds like it may have just been flying glass. I guess more will be revealed.

Jason the Big@GottaLaff Cue all the politicians insisting that the whole country pray for the monster
Rev. JZ@GottaLaff this is gonna get ugly. And quickly.
Darwin Woodkait was already ugly.
@darwinwoodka @GottaLaff you're definitely not wrong.
Unabogie has voted Kamala!@GottaLaff it's so odd to see absolutely no one running for cover during an active shooter event. I'm not saying it's fake, but Trump is a lifelong con man and faking something like this would absolutely appeal to him.
@unabogie If you watch the vid, they were ducking and moving away
@GottaLaff but Google any video of other events like this. People run away as fast as they can.
Look at this, as one example:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRQyu66zGE4
Panic in Times Square after motorcycle backfire mistaken for gunfire
@unabogie I'm not a conspiracy theorist.
I don't do that.
@GottaLaff I'm simply pointing out how odd everyone is acting. If I heard shots being fired, I'd leave as fast as I could. But they kind of crouch down and then no one leaves.
@unabogie Yeah, but well, who knows? Others in my feed are conspiracy-ing all over the place.
ferricoxide@unabogie @GottaLaff
Small calibre guns don't have a sound that immediately screams danger. Particularly in the weeks right after Independence Day, a lot of people's brains are still in "gunfire or fire crackers" mode.

But Secret Service rushing the stage and two dudes with long guns ought to confirm the situation. Everyone just...sits. there. It's bizarre.
ˈdälfən™🐬 💥 🌊@unabogie That was weird. Although some in the crowd near Trump ducked down, many just seemed to sit there and look on for the most part. I heard some commentators say the crowd might have thought it was fireworks at first— they might not have initially realized what was happening.
Cookiefiend@GottaLaff Now, that sounds seriously staged.
No, it really doesn't. @GottaLaff
MichelleRN, Former CHPN, Ret.@GottaLaff that is strange even for that dick.
