If the water tower is the same distance from the stage as the position crooks was at, then that would add to the credibility due to the 0.22 seconds between the sonic boom and the firing sound caught on the mic. This could probably be easily measured on google maps. I just checked, the water tower is nearly 2x as far away. Doubtful shots were fired from there.
I have 10 year old grandkids that can put .556 in a 4 inch grouping from 300 yards. This is a simple shot for a trained sniper with the typical .308 sniper round.
The commenter before me was making a point that if you listen to the audio a shot from the water tower would work out if the water tower was close to where Crooks shot from.
But it's not close. It's like twice as far a shot.
So we would notice a difference in the audio if there was a shot from the water tower. Chris was something like 450 ft from Trump. Doing a quick measurement on my phone using Google maps. The water tower is like a thousand feet away

The water tower is very far from crooks.
