    But to be distinguished from the shot itself, it would have to be a fair distance away.

      It wouldn’t have to have been too far. Ever been to a baseball game and notice the delay between seeing the swing and hearing the crack of the bat from the stands? If you’re seated behind the outfield, there’s easily a longer delay in that scenario than what we can hear in the clip.

      It sounds like roughly a quarter of a second between the click and the pop, so I imagine the shooter was less than a hundred yards away.

      The final shot we hear also sounds like it came from a different gun, and there’s no preceding click sound before it. That leads me to believe that shots at Trump were probably from somebody in the crowd, and security or another bystander fired one shot into the shooter. But that’s just my hunch right now.
