The shooter targeting former President Donald Trump at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, was approximately 400 to 500 feet (120 to 150 meters) away from Trump at the time of the shooting. This distance is about 130 to 166 yards, which is not considered a long shot for a rifle like the AR-15 that the shooter used. The shooter fired from an elevated position on the roof of a nearby building outside the security perimeter. Secret Service snipers were positioned on nearby rooftops and eventually neutralized the shooter.
