Former President Donald Trump was about 400 to 500 feet (120 to 150 meters) from the suspected gunman at the time of the shooting at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, according to CNN’s analysis of their geolocated positions. Trump had been holding the event at the Butler Farm Show Grounds on Saturday afternoon. The gunman fired multiple shots from an “elevated position” outside the rally, according to the Secret Service. Law enforcement sources told CNN the shooter was on a building rooftop just outside the rally venue. Trump was injured in the shooting, which the FBI says was an assassination attempt. A gunman and at least one audience member are dead, the Secret Service said. The gunman was killed by Secret Service personnel, according to the agency. In a news conference, Kevin Rojek, FBI special agent in charge of the Pittsburgh office, said it was “surprising” the gunman was able to fire multiple shots during the rally for Trump.
