minus-square@cbarrick@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish15•edit-22 months agoThe 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.
