They get the fucker?
- Nah, only grazed his ear.
- CNN is quoting local authorites saying the shooter +1 attendee are both dead.
  +1 other attendee severely injured.
  
  So, no.😞
- Shooter is reported dead.
  
  🤦🏿‍♂️
  
  I'm confused how the shooter who was said to be a sniper on a rooftop several hundred yards away AND a bystander dies at the same time?
  
  A secret service sniper responding to the shots?…
- There's an extended video that shows a lift spewing hydraulic fluid with one more gunshot. I'm guessing homie moved and the secret service donated a bit more lead.
  Edit. He was firing the left of the stage from our viewpoint, so he probably did hit the poor lift.
  
  I saw that, was that not a water mister to keep the crowd cool?
  
  You can see the lift falling as it sprays. That would be a badass way to cool down, tho:
