Crooks fired from a roof outside the rally venue using an AR-15–style semi-automatic rifle, firing eight rounds before being killed by a sniper from the Secret Service Counter Assault Team.

Dude had 8 fucking attempts. Thats almost too unbelievable.

Ok look without getting into the ethics of political violence that's embarrassing.

I am a baby with rifles, having only shot like 200 rounds? but I thought it was a low calibre rifle from the sound in the video and thought "wow decent accuracy from a 22 at 100 meters!". Like I struggle to land on the target at 50 with open sights.

But an assault rifle? really?

Anyway this post was about "he is dead" being an absurd thing to say in "what we know" don't shoot into crowds kids. That's not very nice.

I mean the guy was probably stressed the fuck out. I assume he had some sort of scope but who knows what psychological state he was in.

Yeah I imagine whatever your reasons it's probably a pretty stressful to carry out a suicide attack.
