An audio analysis conducted by forensics expert Dr. Robert Maher has revealed crucial details about the recent shooting incident involving former President Trump. According to Maher, the gunman who fired shots at the former president was positioned approximately 110-120 meters (360-393 feet) away from the podium where Trump was speaking.
This finding is consistent with source analysis indicating that the suspected gunman was located on a rooftop situated 120-150 meters (393-492 feet) from the podium at the time of the shooting. The shots fired exhibited a distinct “crack-pop” sequence, a common occurrence when a supersonic bullet passes a microphone before the subsequent muzzle blast sound is heard.
Dr. Maher, who specializes in audio forensics at Montana State University, explained that the timing between these auditory markers helped determine the shooter's distance from the microphone. Assuming an average bullet speed of 800-1,000 meters per second (equivalent to 2,600-3,280 feet per second), Maher concluded that the shooter was positioned at the estimated distance of 110-120 meters from the microphone.
The precise analysis of the audio recordings sheds light on the events surrounding the shooting incident and provides valuable insights into the shooter's location and actions. The collaboration between forensic experts and law enforcement agencies underscores the importance of utilizing advanced techniques to investigate such incidents thoroughly.
