Oh snap, Robert G has a long version of the lady talking about the shooter on the water tower.
She's talking about the shot coming from the right and hitting the person that died.
Is THAT why the photographer's photo went out? To give cover?
And how fast was the pic of the shooter dead put out, when do we ever see that immediately. Who put it out? Post zero on that pic.
Why have we not seen anything on the 2 people critically wounded? Not someone's cousin's brother's neighbors fb post that their uncle is doing okay?
nothing
nada
zilch
not a single pic, video, mention except for the dead guy…
have I just missed all that?
This video came up when I search David Dutch on fb
BUTLER, Pa. (KDKA) – The two people who were critically injured during the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, are in stable condition and recovering at a local hospital.
James Copenhaver of Moon Township and David Dutch of New Kensington are in stable condition at Allegheny General Hospital as of Monday. They were injured when the gunman, Thomas Matthew Crooks, opened fire at a Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday. The former president was grazed in the ear, and another person, Corey Comperatore, was killed.
"I was starting to get phone calls saying, 'We think Jim was one of the people shot.' I was in shock," said Moon Township supervisor Al Quaye.
Quaye was traveling home from a family vacation when he learned his friend was critically wounded during the attempted assassination of Trump.
"Jim's a super nice guy, and I couldn't believe it happened to him," Quaye said.
Quaye met Copenhaver a few years ago at one of the board of supervisor's meetings which he attended to share concerns about a development project near his home. It seemed, according to Quaye, that Copenhaver, a registered Democrat, caught the politics bug and kept returning to meetings.
"He was one of the few people who would show up all the time to our meetings," Quaye said.
Quaye spoke to Copenhaver's family on Monday. They say Jim is sedated but stable. He was shot twice: once in the leg and once in the abdomen. While the 74-year-old has a long road ahead, Quaye is hopeful he'll make a full recovery.
"I'm really hoping everything is going to be fine," Quaye said.
One of three bystanders shot at a rally for former President Donald Trump in Butler on Saturday remains in stable condition but is in an induced coma, according to our partners at the Trib.
David Dutch, 57, of New Kensington, was shot by 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, of Bethel Park. Dutch underwent surgery after being shot in the liver and chest, the Trib said.
The other 2 wounded at the Pennsylvania Rally.
David Dutch
David Dutch, 57, from New Kensington, Pa., has been working at Siemens for decades, according to Jennifer Veri-Grazier, his sister. He was once a member of the Marine Corps.
Mr. Dutch has been a longtime Trump supporter, along with other members of his family, Ms. Veri-Grazier said. She saw a picture of her brother before he headed out on Saturday, wearing a flag dress shirt and sunglasses. He seemed “ecstatic,” she said.
Now, he is hospitalized with damage to his liver and broken ribs, and awaiting another surgery, she said.
“He was exercising his rights and went to the rally, and he didn’t deserve any of this,” Ms. Veri-Grazier said.

James Copenhaver
Mr. Copenhaver, 74, is from Moon Township, Pa. Records showed that he was registered as a Democrat. He is married with at least one son and plays in a band, according to his friends.
Larry Wheeler, who went to high school with Mr. Copenhaver, said that just last week they talked about Mr. Trump — though he didn’t know that Mr. Copenhaver would be going to the rally.
Albert Quaye, a supervisor in Moon Township, said he first met Mr. Copenhaver a few years ago at a local board of supervisors meeting, which Mr. Copenhaver attended to share concerns about a development project near his home. He seemed to catch the local politics bug then and kept returning to meetings, Mr. Quaye said. “He would be there sometimes with us through late-night meetings,” he said.
Mr. Copenhaver was retired, according to Mr. Quaye. A LinkedIn page that appeared to belong to Mr. Copenhaver indicated that he used to work at the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board.
Mr. Quaye didn’t have more details on Mr. Copenhaver’s condition, but said he was optimistic about his prognosis. “Jim’s a healthy 74,” he said.

The roof the snipers were on had a higher pitch than the one the shooter was on, if she had been properly briefed she never would have said that.
