    Trump shot at rally today

    In the coming days, much of the focus will shift to the shooter and security lapses. The shooter was not an attendee at the rally and was killed by U.S. Secret Service agents, according to two officials who spoke to the Associated Press on the condition of anonymity to discuss the ongoing investigation. The officials said the shooter was engaged by members of the U.S. Secret Service counterassault team. The heavily armed tactical team travels everywhere with the president and major party nominees and is meant to confront any active threats while other agents focus on safeguarding and evacuating the person at the center of protection. Law enforcement recovered an AR-style rifle at the scene, according to a third person familiar with the matter who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the ongoing investigation. An AP analysis of more than a dozen videos and photos from the scene of the Trump rally, as well as satellite imagery of the site, shows the shooter was able to get astonishingly close to the stage where the former president was speaking. A video posted to social media and geolocated by the AP shows the body of a person wearing gray camouflage lying motionless on the roof of a building at AGR International Inc., a manufacturing plant just north of the Butler Farm Show grounds where Trump’s rally was held. The roof where the person lay was less than 150 meters (164 yards) from where Trump was speaking, a distance from which a decent marksman could reasonably hit a human-sized target. For reference, 150 meters is a distance at which U.S. Army recruits must hit a scaled human-sized silhouette to qualify with the M-16 rifle. The AR-15, like the shooter at the Trump rally had, is the semi-automatic civilian version of the military M-16.

    Trump shot at rally today

    Eyewitness tells BBC he saw gunman climbing up building with rifle, tried to warn police From CNN's Jessie Yeung An eyewitness outside the rally where former President Donald Trump was injured in a shooting said he saw the gunman climb up a roof and tried to warn police. “We noticed the guy crawling, bear crawling, up the roof of the building beside us, 50 feet away from us,” the witness told BBC News on Saturday after the incident. “We’re standing there, we’re pointing at the guy crawling up the roof. … We can clearly see him with a rifle,” he said. He added that they notified police in the vicinity and that officers “didn’t know what was going on.” “I’m thinking to myself, ‘Why is Trump still speaking? Why have they not pulled him off the stage?’ I’m standing there pointing at him for two, three minutes, Secret Service is looking at us from the top of the barn, I’m pointing at that roof, just standing there like this, and next thing you know, five shots ring out,” he said. CNN cannot independently verify his account. John Miller, CNN chief law enforcement and intelligence analyst, said the testimony raises many “serious questions.” “There’s going to be an extraordinarily, excruciatingly detailed examination about who knew what, how was this communicated, and who determined to take what action or not take what action,” he said.

    AZGF Overlapping hunts

    I wanted to give unit 8 a try this yr. I prefer to WT hunt. Unit 8 -- hunt number 1079- 50 tags. Oct. 25 -Nov. 3, 7 days. I figured a perfect hunt as only 50 tags. Great time of yr. Etc. Guess what! Unit 8 -- hunt number 1011 - 300 MD tags. Nov 1 - Nov. 7. So if I'm lucky enough to draw unit 8 . The last 3 days of my hunt, I get the pleasure of 300 MD hunters ruining my hunt. Not just coming in days early scouting and setting up camps , but actually hunting! Is AZGF CRAZY, or just to dumb to see they are really screwing the WT hunters. I did contact AZGF, and actually got a reply. I was told its been overlapped for yrs. by a day or two to accommodate the systems program to give hunters 7 days to hunt. I'm the first guy to ever contact them about this issue. They didn't really see it as a problem.

    Cummins emissions recall ?

    Called the ram recall hotline. Not a mandatory recall. Doesn't void any warranties. Was told it was to early in recall for any real info on mileage, etc. But no complaints yet. Basically to appease California crap emissions. There aren't admitting to nothing, No emissions check in chino, prescott area and just put on 2 yr. tags. Dealer stated would only do software emission update if requested. Hsd appointment for my 2018 3500 ram. But gonna cancel for now!
