A forensic medical examination showed that shots were fired from three types of weapons at the election rally of former US President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, last Saturday, CNN reports today, July 15.

The day before, the FBI said that the shooter acted alone.

The first three shots corresponded to a suspected "weapon A", the next five to a suspected "weapon B", and the last "acoustic pulse" was issued by a possible "weapon C", according to an audio analysis by Catalina Grigoras, director of the National Center for Forensic Science in The University of Colorado at Denver, and Cole Whitecotton, a senior fellow at the same institution.

This conclusion is consistent with CNN's analysis, according to which the shooter was located on the roof of the nearest building at a distance of 393-492 feet from the podium when the shots rang out, the American TV channel notes.

The footage illustrates the "crack—pop" sound sequence, typical for cases when a supersonic bullet passes by a microphone, before "the corresponding muzzle sound appears," Robert Maher, who teaches audio expertise at the university, said in an interview with CNN. University of Montana.

According to him, the time between these markers allows you to place the shooter at a distance of 110-120 m from the microphone, assuming that the bullet is moving at an average speed of 800-1000 meters per second, which is equivalent to 2600-3280 feet per second.

Meanwhile, CNN senior national security analyst Juliette Kayem said that President Joe Biden should send the director of the US Secret Service, Kimberly Cheatle, "on vacation" amid close attention to the actions of the intelligence service to investigate the assassination of Donald Trump.

"In fact, they had one task, and they did not complete it,— Kayem said in an interview with the TV channel. "If this service is going to move forward, people will have to pay for it."

Kayem, who served as assistant to the head of the Department of Homeland Security in the Obama administration, said that "there were several questions that were not answered regarding the training and response of the Secret Service, including why the roof on which the shooter was located was not protected, and whether the agents took Trump out quickly enough (with stands)".

Footage taken after the shooting shows a bloodied Trump asking agents to wait until he puts his shoes back on, and then looking around the crowd and raising his fist up several times until he is put in a car and taken to a nearby hospital.

Nevertheless, in a memo reviewed by The New York Times, the head of the Secret Service, Kimberly Cheatle, indicated that she was "proud of everyone who took part in this (in repelling the assassination attempt Trump. — Ed.) participation".

"The Secret Service will face criticism in the coming days. Do not be distracted by those who were not there, but still make judgments," she pointed out.

Recall that Donald Trump was attacked on July 13 during a campaign speech in Pennsylvania. The politician was wounded in the ear as a result of the shooting. The FBI is investigating the incident as an attempted murder. According to law enforcement, the shooting was staged by a 20-year-old resident of the specified state, Thomas Matthew Crooks. One person was killed in the shooting, and two others are in critical condition, the US Secret Service said. The shooter was shot dead on the spot by the sniper's return fire.
