I personally am not in agreement about the 2nd shooter theory (yet) (so we agree on this point), primarily because I see no valid reason for a 2nd shooter...especially if they're going to be shooting at the same target.
Since most muzzle speeds are faster than the speed at 100 yards, wouldn’t the bullet reach 450 feet faster than my guesstimation and faster than your .22 seconds.

To better clarify the sequence of events of the first shot, it actually takes 0.38 seconds for the sound of the gun shot to reach Trump.
Time sequence:
0 sec: Bullet and gunshot noise leave gun.
0.16 sec: Bullet reaches Trump with sound of super sonic shockwave.
0.38 sec: Noise from gunshot reaches Trump, 0.22 seconds after the sound of the bullet.

450 feet away
Shrugs.
450 feet / 2800 fps = .161 seconds to travel 450 feet at 2800 fps.

kwaka, what round and velocities are you using in FPS for those cherry picked calculations.

I am using your first calculation of 0.16 seconds it takes for the first bullet to reach Trump. Maybe it is 0.15 or 0.17 ? It is a kinda close starting point till better data arrives. Thanks.
Does Trump’s ear, the bullet photographed, and the equipment lined up when placed in line with Crooks position. Yes it does.

Found an image of where the fork lift truck got hit. The image is a little bit rotated, can tell from the lean of the poles. After straitening it up and seeing how it aligns with the bleachers rail where David got hit:
It does provide evidence that this shot was taken from a ground floor location, through an open window and not from a higher roof top location.

To use the angle that the oil sprays out does not fit with a 2 degree declination shooter on the roof.
