I took all 8 shots, clipped them each to 0.16 seconds (the shortest of the 8), and they all sound identical to me:
nteresting reply on Twitter from Dave:
No but I definitely thought I was gonna get killed when I was interrogated (40 mins) a week later by the State Police because they thought I was involved somehow. They're still looking for the 2nd shooter I believe

Yup, "
They're still looking for the 2nd shooter I believe"
Concerning the window, in the video this guys sweeps all the windows right after the shooting caught on Dave's video (which does not say a lot):
Are these CCTV cameras? Never notice them before, perhaps not.
Crooks, apparently was using an AR-15, as has been said, with either 5x6 or 223 (basically very different) rounds. What is not known, is if he fired 8 rounds, and let's say he did for now. There was said to be 5 rounds + 3 round casings on the roof in different positions.
Before saying more, the following is a shot in the dark as this setup may never be answered and certainly as data, dispelled. So just a few 2 kopek additional thoughts.
Up front, one might still look to the very back back building as a curiosity, while angles need vetting (in this hypothesis it may not be as big an issue), yet sight-lines seem good for possibly the first or second shot, and possibly the third (suppressed (they will not be herd) and at distance). These would be longer shots (or just one shot) overtop of Crooks position.
To backtrack, Crooks seemed to have been rolled-out and wheeled along, with plenty of unsubstantiated evidence dropped Willy-nilly (like what I'm saying is not evidence) by authorities. As a flyover, Crooks seemed to have been pulled into an operations, even being directed/assisted (i.e., to Crooks: we want you here, this is a mock shooting (or real) and you are helping us, so do this and do that. We are with you all the way). What were Crooks programmed directives, or was he truly the lone wolf? If there was a conspiracy, and it seems that may well be, there are many possible ways to rig it.
There are also the Israel questions looping in, the UFO, or whatever that was, and other interesting situations (more to come I'm sure). Moreover, I'm with Joe on secrete teams, it is nothing to pull in help without others being the wiser, they just do their part.
The one overarching observation with possible agreement, is that between the police, the SS and other teams, and of course the public and video, it has been made reasonable that early on Crooks was known to be on the roof by said groups (with the public pointing and police surrounding on the ground, as seen in the recent video). All and sundry have been told, over and over again, that Crooks was the shooter and fired the shots (he was said to be on one side of the roof when his body was on the other), and all is suppose to line up to paint the picture. The picture adds, a) there was a so-called drone, b) Crooks had a range finder, c) a couple of vehicles were introduced; a car and van were mentioned (an official statement indicates someone might have been in the van dead - think it is this
link), and a bicycle and motorcycle - with no real details of what the vehicles represented other than a photo of the bicycle and motorcycle with brief comments added in. d) Crooks also had accomplished amazing feats of roof top access by means of various ladders of different sizes - all unnoticed, or climbing upon an air conditioner unit (possibly the top roof door that was shown and never discussed to rule out), while adding to the cover narratives that are all over the map. e) Crooks also had a remote control to activate bombs in his car (or some car), and gad cellphone(s) with nothing on them, wherein also one was suddenly hacked to reveal all kinds of nefarious things - all possible planted information. In other words, Crooks was a real badass nutjob kid and here is why he is the perfect patsy, where they peppered and salted information all around to muddy the waters. There is also much more peppered information scattered around that may be plausible or not. For instance, this seems to also have been done even in official committees or on interviews, where statements were being made as if they are evidentiary statements. None of us have seen any real evidence, it was only suggested, so it is all on official good faith - and they may believe it, too.
There are many videos.
So, there is no doubt that Crooks had a gun, not denied, for which small details are becoming known, just as the shell casing count was 5 and then corrected to 8, as again said, heard from within the body-cam audio. It is a given that
8 rounds absolutely must be the mainstream consensus (no magic bullets this time), and it may even be correct. However, the shooter, not the shooting, was seen by the crowds, with photos of it taken before as Crooks shinnied along the roof; once lifting his head, and from the post photos after Crooks was picked off by a snipper, albeit with his gun at distanced from him as he lay dead. A recent photo from a video on this thread also seems to show the gun being removed from Crooks grip, so it might be logical that it was then placed away from the body, and that may take care of that (not the 5:8 count on cartridges). The audible sound sequence recently heard above, seems close or the same signature (although with 3 single shots and a 5 count shot burst).
The windows below Crooks are interesting, yet they may not work for many reasons being discussed. The tower seems to be out. What may not out (osit) or what might be reconsidered, is a matching 223 rifle with a suppressor at 3 or 4 hundred yards being handled by a pro. The location of the pro may only be important in terms of being overtop Crooks. If plausible, with the same calliper (can't have differences because if Trump had died there would be forensics), it would probably be a deadly shot with no more than a 1/2 inch degrees of drift with that round if hitting Trump where it looks to have been intended. From that distance or more, you would not hear the shot(s), especially timed with Crooks opening up.
The assumption (with many possibly sequences within):
Crooks is positioned, he 'is' the patsy and he is going to be taken out, there is no question that dead men tell no tales. Crooks has an AR-15 type rifle, shooting 223 (or 5x6) - probably. He had iron sights that were then adjusted to a Dot sight on an older model AR-15. The question is, what exactly were the rounds he shot if he shot and think he did? Were there a few live rounds and then blanks? Maybe all of them were live. Remember, the guy with the body-cam was saying that there are 5 and then it was pointed out to him that there were 3 more, but it sounded like they ejected differently, and were not in the same group. Don't know. If so, this could be related to the round themselves - same but different. Hold this thought.
A pro sniper would look to a) having very good cover, and b) having a fast exit plan away from people and cameras. A pro sniper would generally only look to take one shot, because 1) it would not be necessary for more, and 2), if he missed, he knows all hell would breaks loose and is not hanging around to take more shots. In this case, a pro snipper waits for Crooks to open up (Crooks is likely not that good a shot and they know it) while he himself is aimed at Trump, and then the pro shooter sees Crooks miss and takes his head shot at Trump through a well made scope that fortunately only clips Trump (there is no sound other than Crooks). So, Crooks continues as he is told until all the rounds are done, and it is during this point that Crooks handlers probably do not want Crooks blasting away with all live rounds into crowds, so they might have limited his ability. It still looks right, some bullets replaced with plastic rounds or blanks, that will not do much harm, or in the latter, no harm (but all audible). There is the problem with shock waves from the microphones, so they may have all been live and there must have been enough live rounds to account for people being killed or hurt. The missed sniper round is going to account for one injury at least. Whatever the case (again multiple possibilities), the evidence is controlled on the roof top, and they might not even know exactly until told something by someone appointed, and yet they might know there was another shooter (hence Daves statement above that lead this off).
I struggle with the in-close buildings, only in that there is much that could go very wrong and they would not want that. A pro shooter would just not go to a place with a possible bad outcome. Again, cover and escape.
With Crooks, all the attention of the world is being placed upon him on the roof: the gun, the sounds of shots, the shots, and he is the man - the assassin. So if there is a second shooter it is going to be a pro who is never caught, not even seen, and we likely may never know.
Again, 2 kopeks that might change.
