There seems to be a dead person on a nearby roof, who the news is claiming was the shooter, with an interview with someone who was outside the event saying that they saw said rooftop-person get shot presumably by the secret service. https://www.bbc.com/news/videos/c51yly4085lo https://www.bbc.com/news/videos/c51yly4085lo ...honestly, if they're right about the person on the roof being the shooter, there was a serious fuck-up by event security.

And a hell of a missed rifle shot that made no noise.

  There were several shots heard in the video I saw. I assumed they were all from the rifle.

    Several shots, a pause, a shot, and someone says they're clear and they start moving. Presumably the final shot is the Secret Service.

      I think I hear in this video: https://twitter.com/JordanUhl/status/1812251693888975359 https://twitter.com/JordanUhl/status/1812251693888975359 "Take a look at what happened", then three initial shots, "Get down! Get down! Get down!", followed by four rapid shots, all likely from the shooter. Trump ducks after the third initial shot. They sound like "crack---boom" where the "crack" is the bullet passing the microphone and the "boom" is the gunfire arriving later due to speed of sound at distance from the shooter. Immediately after, there is a three-round burst of automatic fire, then several seconds later there is a single silenced shot ("kill confirmed") all likely secret service. I'd have to look at the audio waveform to distinguish whether the four rapid shots were the same shooter or return fire from secret service. Edit: After watching this: https://twitter.com/BNONews/status/1812327502028669328 https://twitter.com/BNONews/status/1812327502028669328 It seems like the first 3 and then next 5 (not 4) shots were from the shooter, and there was a single sniper shot returned by secret service immediately after (some echo made it sound like a 3 round burst in the first video), with the final follow up confirmation shot several seconds later.
