Dumb question, I know, but is it possible to kill a human with a .22? I associate them with deer shooting. Heard of people getting accidentally wounded on hunting expeditions, but not fatally wounded. ---

Shot in the eye. Shot between the ribs into the heart. Maybe it wasn’t a 22 anyway ---

Yes, you can kill someone with a 22. ---

Then my question is where was he that they could determine who he was and that he was the only one. ---

> [@Rilchiam](#): > > is it possible to kill a human with a .22? I am sure many real life examples will follow but FWIW, Tom Clancy had a scene in Clear and Present Danger where a kid with a .22 kills a cartel heavy with a lucky shot to the back of the head. ---

You are correct with that. I just never figured folks from my local area were that violent. It’s kind of a quiet, small town area. ---

From TMZ **A source who has spoken with a member of the Secret Service tells TMZ, Trump was not hit by a bullet. Rather, a bullet hit his teleprompter and the glass struck him by the ear. We’re also told 2 people at the rally were hit by gunfire and are in the hospital. We do not know their condition. We’re also told the shooter was taken down by Secret Service.** > **[Donald Trump Injured After Shots Fired at Pennsylvania Rally, Apparently...](https://www.tmz.com/2024/07/13/donald-trump-appear-shot-pennsylvania-rally-president-election/)** > > 4:21 PM PT -- A source who has spoken with a member of the Secret Service tells TMZ, Trump was not hit by a bullet.

Any gun can kill. I know no one who seriously deer hunts, and uses a 22. Kinda too small for the deer here. ---
