    FBI confirms. They recovered 8 casings from the shooter. So he fired 8 shots.
    If he fired 8 shots, where did they all go? If he fired all 8 at Trump, why wasn't anyone else hit?

    I'm picturing a large crowd sitting or moving around and 8 bullets coming their way and no one
    getting hit except Trump and one other person. There was metal seats and a large crowd of
    people moving in several directions and no one else was hit by a bullet nor a bullet
    bouncing off the metal stage. What am I missing ?

    Corey Comperatore was killed.
    Donald Trump was injured.
    David Dutch was injured.
    James Copenhaver was injured.
    A tractor hydraulic line was hit....

    Ya because a semi auto rifle never throws a casing into the abyss
    Iirc 10 shots can be heard, 2 are accounted for as LE, leaving 8 for the shooter, which is exactly what they found.

    He had a mile of roof to his right... Casings don't go THAT far, even in grass even with small casings like 22lr or pistols the are not hard to find visually and if that fails metal detectors work like a charm.

    Exactly. That's five of the eight, unless the "ear shot" went on to hit one of the other wounded (very possible).
    It's not hard to imagine a couple might have lodged in the stage or whizzed past the tractor.
    Has the FBI found all eight projectiles? I doubt it, and watching Wray today, doubt we will ever know.

    Dutch was hit twice.

    Copenhaver was next to Dutch, not sure if they shared a round.

    And of course, unknown what Trump round also hit.

    From my understanding, Mr Comperarore was hit and Trump was injured and the poor tractor was wounded.
    The bullet that hit Trump went into the crowd, so that one bullet could have hit 2 people.
    I'm not arguing with you, just trying to understand what happened. I know that when you fire your weapon
    it will kick up and the shooter might not have brought his rifle down to bare and shot over the crowd instead on into it.

    Not that it matters, Tractor was not wounded- it was the JCB handler next to the tractor supporting the speakers.
    Wait a sec. Didn't you read all of this thread? There were several people here that swore the tractor was hit.
    And now your saying it wasn't?

    Who to believe, who to believe.?

    No tractors were injured in this fiasco.

    See the yellow JCB behind the tractor? There are no hydraulic lines in roof of tractor cab.
