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.

Lack of Agencies sharing info. ,all over again….
The abc group have no idea what older Americans just saw. Beware what you have done.
If it wasn't for these videos, the secrete services would not have to be accountable. They woukd have protected them. Im sure they are also hiding the fact he was a trump hating Democrat. They are hiding hia true identity
Let me get this straight, a random 20 year old climbed on to a roof with a gun undetected by police 450 yards away from Trump, then people alert the police and they do nothing? Something’s wrong here
Thomas Crooks, Kennon Hooper, Maxwell Yearick, Lisa Cuyler.
1 million views, 10,000 comments, only 1000 posts made it through. What are you trying to hide?
Did the cops think he went to the roof to fix it or something? so stupid.
Why did the secret service let him get up there.
Sus…
Thanks for removing my comment, nice censorship.
Wow! A lot of government officials want Trump gone! This is so wrong. SS and the police are a joke.
KINDA SUS
This whole thing is very suspicious
if it was staged, dont u think they wouldve orchestrated it better? I mean theres millions of voters to convince here.. the situation doesnt ask u to believe it, its just what happened. it shows the INCOMPETENCE of the secret service.. or maybe, just maybe, they want Trump dead. saw the shooter and just ignored/allowed him, even secretly rooting for him 🤷♂
Is there anybody out there that was a Trump supporter before thos and now gets it????
All fake
😂😂😂
The Capage is staggering
CIA
It feels like Assassin's Creed or Watch Dogs
I have to think of that small black timid kadet in Police Academy movie.
0:31 and 0:44 frames are exactly the same. It's a CGI, 100% sure.
Strangely, I say nothing duragatory, simply point out failures or incompetence and they delete it? Why was bulletproof glass barriers not use? Why were emergency protocols not used. THIS IS REAL BUT ABSOLUTLY SET UP BY GUESS WHO?????????😮😮😮😮😮😮
