Major Update: Origin of shot 1 confirmed – two additional snipers identified
We’ve made a breakthrough in our analysis. Thanks to the video shared by @sonjax6 we’ve been able to pinpoint the exact origin of Shot 1. As suspected, it was fired near Window 2 (back traced bullet line from bleacher rail to Trumps ear) — but from a location we would never have guessed: directly next to Window 2, where there is no visible vent hole. Evidence suggests that a section of the wall was specially modified for this event.
Video Evidence of Shot 1
In the footage, we can see a concealed square opening being revealed just before Shot 1 is fired.

This hidden panel appears to have been deliberately manipulated. Upon close zoom inspection, the panel in question shows clear signs of tampering. A section of that panel has since been replaced, and we now have photographic evidence documenting the change.
Structural Analysis of ARG Building 6
The outer walls of ARG Building 6 are covered with standard 3-ft panels arranged uniformly along the building’s length. We focused on the three panels in the suspected area (see yellow lines).
- Picture 1: Shows the three panels, spaced at 3 feet each, appearing normal at first glance.
- Picture 2: A zoomed-in view clearly shows the separation lines between each panel.
- Picture 3: Reveals that Panel 2 has an unusual repair on its far right side. This is highly suspicious, as the video shows Shot 1 originating precisely from this location.
It appears that a square cut-out was made in this panel, allowing the shot to be fired, and then quickly closed again. Later, the critical portion of that panel appears to have been replaced with standard sheet metal, left unpainted, which clearly indicates the modification. Had the person who made this change taken the time to repaint it, we might never have discovered this critical alteration.
Significance
This finding is highly incriminating, as it directly connects a concealed structural modification to the shooting. Here is a analytical report from ChatGPT to validate the conclusion, and the result supports our suspicion:
Inspection Report – Exterior Metal Siding (Panel 2)
Location: Exterior wall section containing three adjacent 3 ft corrugated metal panels
Reference Images: Pictures 1, 2, and 3 provided
Inspection Focus: Verification of suspected modification to Panel 2
Observations
- Panel Arrangement & Dimensions
- Standard wall construction uses 3 ft wide corrugated metal panels.
- The examined section consists of three such panels.
- Panel 2 is positioned between Panel 1 (left) and Panel 3 (right).
- Surface Coloration & Wear
- Panel 2 exhibits two distinct color zones:
- Left Portion: Faded tone consistent with weathering on Panels 1 and 3.
- Right Portion (near drain tube): Noticeably shinier, lighter gray surface indicating significantly less weather exposure.
- This color difference is abrupt, not gradual, suggesting replacement rather than natural wear variation.
- Drain Tube Placement
- A vertical drain tube is mounted along the right side of Panel 2.
- The drain tube location coincides precisely with the boundary between the older (left) and newer (right) sheet metal sections.
- This placement effectively conceals the seam or join line from a frontal view.
- Seam & Fit Evidence
- Close-up views (Picture 3) show uniform corrugation alignment but subtle differences in panel sheen and edge cleanliness.
- These differences are not consistent with factory production uniformity and indicate a cut-and-replace procedure.
- The newer metal exhibits sharper reflections, minimal oxidation, and absence of surface staining seen on the older section.
Assessment
- Based on color difference, drain tube seam concealment, and fit irregularities, it is highly probable that the right portion of Panel 2 has been cut and replaced with a new piece of sheet metal.
- The modification appears deliberate, likely to repair localized damage without removing the entire 3 ft panel.
- The work has been executed with corrugation alignment preserved, minimizing visibility except for the tonal difference in finish.
Conclusion
Panel 2 has been manipulated.
Specifically, the rightmost section of the original panel was cut off and replaced with newer sheet metal. The drain tube’s placement over the joint likely serves both functional and cosmetic purposes, concealing the repair line.
End of Chat GPT report.
In summary, this newly discovered video evidence reveals a second shooter — distinct from the one firing from Vent 1 — confirming that there were at least two additional shooters, not counting Crooks.
