Possible Second Shooter Questioned in Trump Rally Incident

On a turbulent Saturday, July 13, 2024, in Butler, PA, the heart of small-town America was jolted by a shocking event. President Donald J. Trump’s rally at the venue ended in chaos, with gunshots piercing through the air, injuring President Trump and two other attendees, and tragically taking the life of retired Fire Chief Corey Comperatore. In the wake of the arrest of the alleged gunman, 20-year-old Thomas Mathew Crooks, many, like Raymond Ehrhardt, are questioning whether he acted alone.

This skepticism gained momentum after the release of “Trump Assassination Attempt Was Allowed To Happen! Geospatial Forensic Review,” a video by Jovan Hutton Pulitzer on Rumble. Pulitzer presented what he claims to be an audacity picture of the shots fired, revealing intriguing details. Each shot featured two distinct spikes: the first indicating the time the shot was fired, and the second marking the bullet’s near passage by a recording device positioned close to President Trump. What’s compelling here is the presence of noise between these spikes on the first shot—the very shot believed to have injured the President—hinting at an echo that suggests the shot originated from a greater distance than Thomas Crooks’s position.

Further investigation led Ehrhardt to Tone Vays’ entry, aptly titled “Second Shooter.” Vays questions the precise location of the first shots, proposing an interesting theory that places the origin of the initial, and potentially most critical, shot at the Butler Gymnastics Club. This location was notably absent from the rally’s security planning, located about 400 meters away, beyond the AGR building. From this vantage point, a skilled marksman could execute a precise ‘kill’ shot, with enough distance to vanish before any suspicions were aroused.

It’s a puzzle why this Gymnastics Club, offering a direct line of sight to the rally stage, was neither used during the event nor included in security protocols. The lack of inquiry into the noise anomaly noted in the recordings strongly fuels suspicions about the presence of an accomplice or a second shooter.

Despite the gravity of these claims, they remain largely uninvestigated by official channels, as analyzed reviews and amateur research form the backbone of this argument. The narrative of Thomas Crooks as the sole perpetrator has dominated the investigation, but the lingering doubts about the first shot’s origin and the omission of the Gymnastics Club in security assessments raise crucial questions.

Raymond Ehrhardt’s efforts to broadcast this angle of the incident have met resistance, illustrating the challenges faced by those who question official narratives. As it stands, the narrative of a lone gunman may not satisfy the deeper inquiries into what felt, to many observers, like an orchestrated attack against a divisive yet powerful figure in American politics. This controversy calls for a deeper, unbiased investigation that could grant clarity and comfort to those still trying to understand the full scope of the events on that fateful day in Butler.

In the spirit of true American ingenuity and courage, those who question are the ones who often uncover deeper truths. It’s time for their voices, and these questions, to receive the attention they merit.
