An audio analysis of the assassination attempt against former president Donald Trump suggests that as many as three weapons were fired at the rally before the shooter was killed.
CNN published results of forensic analysis from Catalin Grigoras, director of the National Center for Media Forensics at the University of Colorado in Denver, and Cole Whitecotton, Senior Professional Research Associate from the same location.
This report alleged that three shots were fired by “weapon A,” and the next five were consistent with “weapon B.” Weapon A presumably would have been the shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, while weapon B was most likely the Secret Service sniper who returned fire and killed Crooks.
However, the report also alleges that a possible weapon C emitted a final “acoustic impulse,” which may have belonged to a third, previously unknown shooter.
Analysis has also confirmed the Crooks was between 360 and 393 feet from the podium, CNN reported, citing forensics expert Robert Maher, corroborating with reports that he was on a rooftop approximately 120-130 yards from the former president.
Maher, a professor of audio forensics at Montana State University, told CNN that the sequence of shots was in a “crack-pop” sequence, before the “arrival of the corresponding muzzle blast sound.”
