        FYI - This isn't funny, and, is actually pretty hateful, even if it wasn't intended that way.

        Absolutely...shot him from 600 feet away. No way it was the guy the police had down early on.

        The shooter is probably already dead if the person wasn't a DOJ or DOD employee.

        I really hope the shooter is not trans, out of fear of a crackdown or violence against trans people.

        Governor Cox (probably more reliable than Patel): 'person of interest' in custody, no information for a 2nd person

        So, not DJT, looking for an excellent distraction from Epstein and excuse to strip gun rights from Democrats?

        For a whole host of reasons, I will be shocked if the actual shooter is taken in alive

        I think it's pretty likely the person has trained with a sniper rifle, possibly military

        ...or the shooter planned more thoroughly than someone who was mentally ill or violently aggrieved.

        That's a great example of Kirk pushing conspiratorial, anti-government, false propoganda about the country

        Simpler answer to your questions is that Patel is so clueless he is not in communication w FBI agent on the scene. . .nt

        The shooter probably thought Charlie wasn't loyal enough to MAGA, Q-anon or whatever crazy shit they've come up with..

        Please update your headline, like you did with your "Kirk shot" headline.  He was RELEASED.

        Their concentration on this individual gave the perpetrator more time to get away.
