Bombshell New Footage Reportedly Shows Trump Shooter Was Visible From Stage, Running Across Roof

Conservative News DailyJuly 31, 2024

A ⁣new video has ⁤emerged from the Trump rally on July 13, showing an⁣ unidentified figure running⁣ on the roof of⁣ a nearby building while former President Trump was speaking. ‍This figure is suspected to be Thomas Matthew Crooks, who attempted to assassinate Trump from that ‍vantage point. The video captures the figure near the beginning and‌ later in the footage, and ⁤it aligns with the angle from which shots were fired, injuring three individuals, including Trump, and resulting in one fatality. This footage, ⁢recorded by a rally attendee who was critically⁤ injured that day, was not ⁣released until now.⁢ The timeline indicates that attendees became aware of Crooks on the roof just‌ moments before the shooting, raising questions about the Secret Service’s oversight. The chaotic nature of the events and conflicting reports contribute to a lack of a clear official timeline regarding the incident.

New video footage from the July 13 Trump rally shows a furtive figure running along the roof of a building as former President Donald Trump is speaking.

The figure is very small in the video, making it difficult to identify if the figure is Thomas Matthew Crooks, who tried to assassinate Trump from the roof of an American Glass Research Building in Butler, Pennsylvania.

However, no other individuals were reported on the roof at the time the video was taken.

The angle from which the figure is visible also corresponds to the angle from which the shooter fired eight bullets — injuring three (including Trump) and killing one.

The figure appears near the start of the video, moves out of sight, and then appears toward the end of the footage.

New video of the moments before the Trump assassination attempt further shows that it makes zero sense the Secret Service simply missed the shooter.

He was literally running across the roof in plain sight.

The video did not surface earlier because it was shot by rallygoer James Copenhaver, who was critically wounded that day, according to Fox News.

The video was taken at 6:08 p.m. That’s three minutes before Trump was shot.

Copenhaver, who sat behind Trump and to Trump’s left, was not filming when he was hit, Joseph Feldman, a lawyer representing Copenhaver said.

“He had almost seen or heard something whiz past him, which we’re assuming was a bullet. He felt it on his arm, and he looked down at his arm…and felt pain initially, but he hadn’t even realized he had been shot a second time at that point. It could have been shock,” Feldman said.

A timeline published by The New York Times said that as of 6 p.m. that day, one officer working security for the event believed Crooks was moving away from the event.

However, somewhere around that time, Crooks was actually gaining access to the American Glass Research complex. He then moved from roof to roof of the adjoining buildings until he reached the building closest to the stage.

The Times timeline said that as of 6:09 p.m., spectators at the rally became aware of Crooks on the roof of the AGR building where he perched to shoot Trump.

That kicked off a search for Crooks, including one incident in which a local police officer climbed up on another officer and was able to see Crooks, who pointed his gun at the officer, leading the officer to jump down.

An ABC report said that according to federal officials, Secret Service members spotted Crooks on the roof at 5:52 p.m.

Although that contradicts other accounts, at this point, no definitive official timeline of events exists and much of the timeline of that day remains fluid.
