I can't say for certain that I could make that shot. I'm sure the kid was nervous and that why there were multiple shots. If you gave me six shots Trump would be in the hospital getting a bullet removed or dead.

I was the only male in my family who was never an instructor. I was horrible at rapid fire. My brother is good, growing up he set up a rifle range in our basement to practice.

We had trouble fitting a ping pong table in ours…did you live in a cavern?

Wow, that's impressive were you a family hunters?
I was just an OK shot and not much for rapid fire. Hunting was always big. My grandfather was a salesman and would purchase or trade guns while on the road. He gave my mom a 28 gauge shotgun as a wedding present. She was not too thrilled.

OP’s link is broken. This one appears to be the same thing:

Fox News learned from the source the kill shot was a single shot taken by a Secret Service counter sniper whose view was obscured.

The Secret Service sniper who killed Crooks could only see Crooks’ gun scope and the top of his eye and forehead because the lip of the roof was blocking the sniper’s view.


lol, since when does firing through cover at a partially obscured target constitute a “one in a million” shot? It’s a good shot, sure, but when you can see part of the target and know what the human body looks like, it’s not hard to figure out where the rest of it is. This is a mechanic in literally dozens of video games.
