Bullet Ballistics Show that Crooks Was Not Aiming at Trump!


Fox News just posted a 'remarkable' video captured by James Copenhaver, who was critically injured during the assassination attempt on former President Trump, as shown below.


The following 3 snapshots are taken from the above video during the time period from 0.13 to 0.14 while Crooks moved from the points 8 >> 7 >> 9 >> 10. 

Position 8 shows that Crooks was located right above the first pillar and in the front of Trump when photographed by James Copenhaver.

 

Position 7 shows that Crooks was located right above Trump's head when photographed by James Copenhaver. So, Position 7 is on the line from James Copenhaver to Trump. 



Position 9 shows that Crooks was located right above the second pillar and right behind Trump's head when photographed by James Copenhaver.

Position 8 is in the front of Trump, whereas position 9 is right behind Trump's head, so there must exist a point between position 8 and position 9, such that Crooks, Trump, and James Copenhaver were on the same line. That point is roughly located at position 7


Position 10 shows that Crooks moved further to the right side on the roof to his firing position. The actual firing position is located the is in the front of Trump, whereas position 9 is right behind Trump's head, so there must exist a point between position 8 and position 9, such that Crooks, Trump, and James Copenhaver were on the same line. That point is roughly located at position 7

This picture shows the positions of 7 to 11 in one picture. 

Keeping in mind that position 7 is a point on the line from the victim Copenhaver to Trump, whereas the point 11 is the location where Crooks fired 8 rounds, we can draw the bullet ballistics that hit Copenhaver as the following picture.



Each of the red number indicates the position of:
1: David Dutch
2: James Copenhaver
3: Corey Comperatore
4: Trump
5: Crane that was shot
6: Where Crooks fired 8 shots
7: Crooks position where on the same line of 2 to 4

The red line shows the trajectory of the bullet that hit David Dutch at position 1.

The solid yellow line shows the trajectory of the bullet that hit James Copenhaver at position 2 or Corey Comperatore at position 3.

Distance from Crooks to Trump is 125m.
Distance from Trump to any of the 3 victims is about 40m.

The dashed yellow line is the line that links 2, 4, and 7.

The shortest distance from Trump to the red line is > 2m.

The shortest distance from Trump to the yellow line is > 5m.

None of the bullets that hit the 3 victims and the crane located at 1, 2, 3, and 5 could hit Trump!




The following 3 pictures are snapshots from an article posted by Fox News:

Based on this article, David Dutch sustained 2 gunshot wounds, so he could have been shot by 2 bullets. These two bullets couldn't hit Copenhaver because Copenhaver is not on the red line. So, there are at least 3 bullets that hit David Dutch and Copenhaver. None of these 3 bullets could hit Trump. 

Furthermore, the bullets that hit Corey Comperatore or the Crane couldn't hit Trump.

Also, only the first 3 rounds of shots could reach Trump, whereas the last 5 rounds shots couldn't reach Trump since he already was on the ground.
