Former President Donald Trump was the target of an assassination attempt at a Pennsylvania rally Saturday that set off panic as a bloodied Trump was surrounded by Secret Service and hurried into his vehicle.

A former fire chief attending the rally with family was killed, as was the gunman. Two other people were critically wounded.

The Associated Press obtained video showing the shooter on a rooftop moments before the attack.

Signs of trouble were evident in the minutes before shots rang out at Donald Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania: Police had a report of a suspicious man pacing near the magnetometers and were apparently exchanging photos of the suspect.

Witnesses pointed and shouted at an armed man on a nearby roof.

When a police officer climbed up to the roof to investigate, the gunman turned and pointed his rifle at him. But the officer did not — or could not — fire a single shot.

A sniper cut down 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks within seconds of him firing an AR-style rifle toward the former president, but it was too late.

Now investigators are trying to painstakingly piece together how an armed man with no military background managed to reach high ground and get the jump on teams of Secret Service agents.

  1. This is like a game of CLUE, and it takes 2 seconds to figure it out. Theres a 10 foot ladder, a small car, cops & SS not responding, one roof not included in the sweep (that is not sloped all that much btw), the shooter identified by DNA without having a record, the investigation is weak at best, the crime scene was sprayed with a hose, and the president taking forever to address the public and then not being willing to call it what it was…an assassination attempt. The American public is not stupid.

  2. treason, I say. This is sinister. @JoeBiden, FBI and secret service look really guilty due to this video. Maybe citizens should have taken responsibility to act

  3. Nobody stopped him because the cia want trump assasinated because he is a russian asset that will ruin nato and give china and russia the world

  4. They have tighter security at concerts. No hats, sun glasses or masks should be allowed at a pol rally. Or weapon paraphenalia like he had. Monitored security cameras should be above all buildings.

  5. America, they tried to kill our candidate. I don’t mean “they” as in democrats. I mean “they” as the shadows in power. 20 minutes secret service had eyes on the shooter…… 20 minutes….. half of the security staff wasn’t SS it was Homeland Security agents under our dear friend Mayorkas.

  6. A long-haired nerd climbs onto the second closest flat roof to the podium in broad daylight in an open area. He is already classified as a suspect 1 hour before the attack, several people see him, film him, report him, he points a rifle at Trump for several minutes and the Secret Service, a law enforcement agency with an annual budget of $3.2 billion (!) whose sole goal is the security of the President, does not intervene? And you're calling me a conspiracy theorist? 😂
