I mean the shooter was shot down so at least one of those shots had to be SS. But accounts on the scene said they heard a few quiet pops followed by louder ones from the counter sniper that was closer to them. Shouldn’t be hard to find a source if you look it up, I’m not able to at the moment.
I have been trying to find this info and have not been able to yet. Short of counting the shots from a video I am not sure we will 100% know until the investigation is done. I will edit my previous comment to reflect uncertainty.
Edit: This article claims the counter sniper who killed him only fired one shot. Although perhaps more SS officers fired?
Dressed in a white shirt, dark blazer and bright red MAGA cap, Trump was railing against illegal immigration when shots rang out at 6:08 pm. “Take a look at what happened…” he said, his words cut off by four shots in quick succession.
Trump grabbed his right ear as repeated shouts of “get down!” were heard, before a fifth and sixth shot. The former president crouched down behind the lectern as Secret Service agents moved in around him. Screams were heard in the crowd.
Within four seconds further shots were fired, prompting more supporters to get down while additional agents rushed to the stage. Seventeen seconds after the first shots, a final pop was heard and a woman screamed.
So it could be that all 6 of the initial shots were from the shooter. I think its safe to say at least the first 4 were probably all him (and I do remember the number 4 from the accounts I heard), but the ones following are more ambiguous. Doesn’t look like they’ve released many specifics yet though.
I think he only got like 2 shots off. The others you heard were secret service returning fire.
Is this a real thing or speculation? Genuinely wondering.
