New Video Footage Captures Assassination Attempt on Former President Trump
Shocking new video footage captured by a rally goer shows the terrifying assassination attempt on former President Trump before a sniper took out the shooter after he opened fire. The incident took place during a campaign event in Butler, Pennsylvania, next to the American Glass Research (AGR) building, where Thomas Matthew Crooks was able to scale to a clear line of sight to Trump.
The footage, shot by Jon Malice and his family, shows the chilling moment when Crooks, 20, fired eight shots before being killed by sniper fire. One spectator was tragically killed, and several others were injured in the incident.
“I noticed about two minutes before the shooting started, the people were starting to say, ‘hey, he’s climbing up here, he’s crawling around, he’s doing this, he’s doing that,” Malice told Fox News. “We just kind of ignored it because we thought it was some person trying to get a better view.”
Malice, a military veteran, expressed surprise at the lack of security around the event site. “One of the first things I noticed when we walked up, none of us have been vetted,” he said. “We’re all along the fence. We all have a view of the stage. We can see Trump.”
The video footage also captured Crooks pointing his rifle at Malice and others before being shot by the Secret Service. Malice highlighted the lack of security measures, noting that witnesses near the AGR building did not have to go through metal detectors despite having a clear and close view of Trump.
The shocking incident has raised questions about security protocols at campaign events and the safety of public figures. The quick actions of the snipers prevented further harm, but the incident serves as a stark reminder of the potential dangers faced by political figures.
