There's footage that is alleged to be the shooter, limp, being hauled away by troopers. Seems like fire was indeed returned, much to the shooter's detriment.
EDIT: That was not the shooter. That was likely either the dead or critically wounded crowd member. Shooter was a sniper on a roof, apparently hundreds of yards away. Still killed though, by all accounts.
God, that'll be a hell of a dangerous shot too. He probably would have fired from the crowd. Terrifying chance of over-penetration.
If initial reports are to be believed, he did kill someone (likely in the crowd), and then got killed himself.
Also, doubt he cared about overpenetration, if he had managed to shoot Trump directly.
There's so many people there I wouldn't be surprised if he hit multiple people in the crowd.
As for overpenetration, I meant the cops shooting back at him.
Ah, yeah, makes sense. Yup, certainly a terrifying situation for the security.
