Here is what I think at this point:
All the known points where bullets hit (where we can be fairly certain that they did so) seem almost perfectly in line with Crooks in terms of bullet trajectories. While none of those trajectories seem to be blocked by anything during their travel through the air. We know of no bullets that hit elsewhere (other than some speculations). We have a number of proposed and possible locations for at least one additional professional sniper that did or did not shoot. Out of those possible locations, only a quite reduced number seem to be in line with either, only the bullet that hit Trumps ear (without considering where that specific bullet went on after that point), or, the locations that the injured and dead were at and where other bullets landed (Telehandler for example). At this point, we have no way of knowing with any certainty at all that someone else than Crooks shot! Which doesn't mean that there were not at least one or more professional snipers located somewhere else, EVEN totally out of the ranges we have considered possible so far, that did not shoot (you can't know the locations of people who don't shoot, solely based on shots fired). But that doesn't mean either that Crooks was the only one who shot that day. See below.
Out of the possible locations for a second shooter, we have still less possibilities if we assume that a second shooter shot at Trumps head. If we assume that (which, I still think, is at least as likely!), for me, the most convincing spot remains Crooks building at the areas of the proposed "lighted" window, and not too far away from that. Although I said earlier that it seems to me that that proposed window MIGHT have been opened (possibly, just slightly) to the inside, very shorty before the first shot can be heard, considering how extremely close after the first shot it seems to "open" and that the rectangular strip in that video doesn't seem to change much at all, from the viewpoint of the camera, while moving to the right, I think it is more likely that I'm imagining that that window was opened before the shots. In other words, it seems to be more likely to me that that window was closed the whole time. Further, the issue with the fence for that window also speaks more against it than for it, IMO. BUT we still have the other proposed openings/vents that are still hot candidates IMO, chief among which is the one I circled in green earlier, because there seems to be a significant opening at the bottom end of that vent, throughout the whole sequence of events. After that possibility, the other possible but quite less hot candidate IMO is the 2-story building that Niall mentioned at some point. On that roof you have a number of difficulties though, compared to crooks building. But in the realm of possibilities IMO.
So, Crooks building is by far the most hot candidate for me for a second shooter, IF we assume that he shot. That they seemed to have locked that building from the inside, just shortly after the shots, also seems consistent with that idea and that they seemed to not want people to come in there also seems to be consistent. It also seems consistent with the fact that we (seemingly) see very few people in there after the shots. And also consistent with the Secret Service guy and the police guy walking towards the entrance as soon as someone wants to come in. Also consistent with the behavior of that weird gray shirt guy on the fence/building area.
I'm at 50/50: Crooks was the only one shooting at Trumps head, or, a second shooter was located in the same building, who ALSO shot at Trumps head, or, he was located on the mentioned 2-story roof behind Crooks to the right.
