Recent forensic analysis of the shooting incident at the Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, has shed light on the nature of the attack. According to the FBI, the shooter acted alone during the tragic event.
The analysis indicates that up to three different weapons were fired during the rally. The first three shots were linked to one weapon, while the subsequent five shots were attributed to another weapon. The final sound detected, described as an 'acoustic impulse,' was potentially emitted by a third weapon, as per audio analysis conducted by experts.
Further investigation revealed that the gunman was positioned approximately 360 to 393 feet away from the podium where the rally was taking place. This finding is consistent with reports suggesting that the shooter was located on a rooftop situated between 393 to 492 feet from the podium at the time of the shooting.
Experts noted that the sequence of shots followed a distinct pattern known as a 'crack-pop' sequence, typically associated with supersonic bullets passing by a microphone. The time intervals between these sounds allowed experts to estimate the shooter's distance from the microphone, placing them around 110 to 120 meters away. This estimation was based on the assumption that the bullets were traveling at speeds ranging from 800 to 1,000 meters per second.
The detailed forensic analysis provides valuable insights into the events that transpired during the Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, and helps paint a clearer picture of the circumstances surrounding the shooting incident.
