The shooter was shot by a counter sniper, which indicates that the shooter was not in the crowd. It is possible that the shooter was using a rifle of some sort from afar.
Someone posted the video below showing a person lying down face up and motionless on a roof on the edge of the Trump rally area. It is not yet confirmed if this is the deceased shooter.
