Wednesday, July 24, 2024 - The gunman who attempted to assassinate Donald Trump fired eight clear sh0ts at the former president before Secret Service snipers took him out.
20-year-old Thomas Crooks opened fire on Trump's campaign
event in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13 from a rooftop just
400ft away from the stage where he was speaking. Trump was sh0t in the ear, one
rallygoer was killed and two others were injured.
New footage of the incident has revealed Crooks
launched bullets from his AR-15-style rifle into the rally in under six
seconds before snipers fired two countershots, including the one that
killed him.
Terrified witnesses were seen screaming and running for
their lives as shots were fired from the AGR building where Crooks had
positioned himself, the video obtained by Fox News showed.
Crooks then pointed his gun towards the crowd just seconds
before the second sniper shot, witness John Malice, who captured the
video, has claimed.
Malice claims that witnesses began to notice Crooks scaling
the building 'about two minutes before the shooting started'.
He recalled how some bystanders noted how he was 'climbing
up here' and 'crawling around', but told Fox that 'we just kind of ignored it
because we thought it was some person trying to get a better view'.
However, the crowd's response quickly changed after Crooks
was spotted with a gun just moments before he fired at Trump.
'Let's get out of here', one witness screamed as the crowd
frantically rushed through the field, Malice's video showed. Another
yelled: 'He's got a gun on the roof.'
