Trump Assassination Attempt: Shooter Fired From Rooftop Just 150 Meters Away From Rally Scene
A gunman reportedly opened fire on Saturday while former President Donald Trump was delivering a speech at a campaign rally just outside Butler, Pennsylvania. Trump, who was injured during the attack, was swiftly escorted offstage by a swarm of Secret Service agents.
The shooter, identified only as a white male, was in an elevated sniper position located hundreds of yards away from Trump's podium as he spoke to the campaign crowd, sources said.

The gunman has not yet been identified because he wasn't carrying identification, sources said. He was not an attendee at the rally.
An AR-style rifle was recovered at the scene, sources told the Associated Press.
Bystander footage captured in the aftermath of the gunfire shows what appears to be a deceased man in light-colored military fatigues splayed out on a rooftop a few hundred feet from the rally stage.
"I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear," Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social hours after the incident. "I knew immediately that something was wrong when I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin."
The shooting began at approximately 6:15 p.m. ET, according to a statement released by the Secret Service. The shooter, who has yet to be identified by name, "fired multiple shots toward the stage from an elevated position outside the rally venue."
In addition to the gunman, "one spectator was killed" and two others were "critically injured," the Secret Service said.
The Secret Service is now investigating the incident as an assassination attempt, officials told the AP.
