Police Sniper Saves Lives by Shooting Rifle of Trump’s Would-Be Assassin
In a dramatic turn of events, a police sniper potentially saved lives by shooting the rifle of Donald Trump’s would-be assassin, according to a recent investigation. The report, conducted by Louisiana Congressman Clay Higgins, revealed that the sniper’s quick actions disrupted the gunman’s aim and ultimately led to his takedown in Butler, Pennsylvania.
The incident unfolded when Thomas Matthew Crooks took his first shots at Trump during a rally in Butler. The sniper’s bullet damaged Crooks’s gun, causing him to momentarily lose his position. This crucial moment allowed a Secret Service sniper to fatally shoot Crooks before he could cause further harm.
Following the assassination attempt, security measures around Trump have been heightened. The Secret Service has temporarily reassigned some bodyguards from President Joe Biden to Trump, and the former president will now be provided with bulletproof glass protection during outdoor rallies.
The report highlighted the bravery of the Butler SWAT operator who was the first to fire at Crooks from 100 yards away. Congressman Higgins praised the sniper for running towards the threat and taking a clear shot position, ultimately saving lives in the process.
Crooks tragically killed one crowd member and critically injured two others before being taken down by law enforcement. The FBI is currently investigating the protection failure, and political leaders in Congress have initiated inquiries into the incident.
The increased security measures and ongoing investigations serve as a stark reminder of the dangers faced by public figures and the importance of swift and decisive action in preventing potential tragedies.
