    Channel 5 did a small segment and even got an interview with the Blue hat lady in the background.

    The town is pretty much what you’d expect for a place trump choose to have a rally. But it was a good insight into how these people think.

      The rally was in Butler, a deep red town in the next county north of Pittsburgh.

      The shooter was from Bethel Park, closer to and on the other side of Pittsburgh. There’s a subway line from Bethel Park to downtown Pittsburgh.

      Pittsburgh itself is very blue. I’d call Bethel Park purple. It’s definitely more suburban than rural.

        Bethel Park is pretty much old suburbs too. Not the old farms turned mcmansions like surrounding boroughs have done in recent years.
