Here's the cspan footage where you can see it for yourself: https://www.c-span.org/video/?c5123735/shots-fired-trump-rally

Looks like it could have been staged to me. They claimed there was smoke from the bleachers. Hopefully they release the caliber so a gun model and round can be assumed, and we can check how much those smoke.

At least two confirmed dead:

Butler County District attorney told the Associated Press (AP) that a shooter was dead and that a rally attendee had also been killed.

Dang. Sad those innocent people had to be the ones killed.

Not staged. Two people dead and two critically injured, and Trump has a nicked ear.
