The shooter who fired at former President Donald Trump during the rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, was approximately 400 to 500 feet (about 120 to 150 meters) away from Trump. This corresponds roughly to 130 to 166 yards. The shooter fired from the roof of a nearby building outside the security perimeter, from an elevated position, which was about 400 feet from the stage where Trump was speaking. This distance is not considered unusually long for an experienced marksman using an AR-style rifle. The shooter was neutralized by the Secret Service after firing multiple rounds at Trump and the rally attendees.
