Anyone have a picture showing where he was sitting?

I’m assuming at the far left of the TV screen in the lower rows behind Trump?

I can’t figure it out on the views shown thus far.

took a direct hit to the skull via crossfire. Was behind Trump off axis slightly one way or another. Bullet missed DJT, struck bystander. or possible ricochet.

Think he was in one of the side grandstands

Yeah I’m trying to pinpoint what area he is in the stands in the video we’re all watching

I'm assuming it was a stand to the side. Not the one Trump was at. Could be wrong though.

Man interviewed on TV said several folks down below Trump, lower left of the screen, were grazed with gunfire.

Believe the guy that was killed was in the first row or two behind Trump.

That is a pretty wide grouping for the shots.

Someone posted a good overhead shot earlier but I can't find it.

From the witness statements I've heard from people on scene, they were sitting behind the podium. (PA Senate Candidate, Former UN Security appointment, current US Rep).

So was this guy spraying shots and randomly hit Trump? Were they actually to the left of the Stage in the backdrop of the shooter from the roof?

Not known yet. We likely will never know

2nd row from the top. Man in red hat (ER Doctor they interviewed earlier) was working on him behind another Patriot in a white hat and white shirt (also interviewed earlier) was blocking for him.

Old school war shite...

My apologies. I misunderstood. Question was in regards to victim location, not shooter

He was in the bleachers to the very far left if you are looking at the stage. The direction President Trump was facing when he was shot. There is a yellow crane next to that set of bleachers.

I saw a picture of the blood and it looked middle stage left behind Trump.

ETA: just behind this guy

Was it ever confirmed where the victim was sitting? I’ve seen all the maps but they never pinpoint where the victim was sitting.

From everything I’ve seen it doesn’t appear he was in the stands behind Trump. And that doesn’t make sense anyway given the location and shotline of the shooter

I saw a man in a grey shirt with his head in the woman's lap (to his left) for an extraordinarily long time. He was to screen-right of Trump about 2-3 rows above the lectern.

I've assumed he was the instant fatality.

Side Note: there's an old woman with a blue hat and really big white sunglasses that reacted (flinched a little) before anyone else. She is amazing, she drops straight down in a fluid motion, you catch a quick glimpse of her between someone elses legs, then she is gone. It's like she dropped through a trap door into another dimension.

She is about 2 rows below the guy in the grey shirt, a little to screen-right. So if you can find her, you should be able to see the guy I'm talking about.

Watch this video. The man shot was to the right of Trump (from the cameraman’s perspective). As Trump is loaded into the vehicle, you can see people pointing up to the stands where the man was hit and police start to move in that direction.
