Videos: Trump shooter spotted jumping across roofs before assassination attempt

A new body camera video shows would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks jumping across multiple roofs as he moved into position just minutes before the July 13 assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump at the former president’s campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

On Monday, Jack Posobiec, a conservative media personality, shared a video of the body camera footage alongside the caption, “Bodycam footage of Thomas Matthew Crooks jumping from roof to roof just minutes before he shot President Trump and the crowd in Butler, PA.”

The video clearly shows an individual jumping across multiple roofs near the former president’s Pennsylvania rally prior to the assassination attempt, which resulted in Trump being shot in the ear, a retired fire chief being killed, and two other rally attendees being seriously injured.

In addition to the video shared on social media by Posobiec, another video of Crooks was released this week, which showed the shooter walking around the Trump rally prior to the assassination attempt.

In a video released by the Iron Clad USA clothing company on TikTok, Crooks can be seen walking through a crowd of Trump supporters near merchandise displays at the former president’s July 13 rally. According to Fox News, the video was recorded at 4:26, almost two hours before Crooks fired multiple shots at Trump.

“Terrifying moment… looking back on my videos from the PA Butler Trump rally on 7/13/24,” Iron Clad USA owner Joe Tomko wrote alongside the video on TikTok. “We were there just trying to sell our patriotic hats from my small business.”

In the video, Crooks can be seen in a “Demolitia” t-shirt and a pair of shorts while walking past multiple Trump merchandise vendors. Fox News reported that Crooks was wearing the same “Demolitia” shirt when he attempted to assassinate the former president.

Media personality Mike Sington shared the video on X, formerly Twitter. He wrote, “Hiding in plain sight. Trump’s shooter Thomas Crooks seen casually strolling through the rally grounds before he tried to assassinate the former president.”

In response to the release of Iron Clad USA’s video, the Secret Service issued a statement obtained by Fox News, saying, “The U.S. Secret Service is aware of and reviewing a variety of footage from July 13 as part of our mission assurance review.”

The agency added, “The U.S. Secret Service is committed to examining the processes, procedures, and factors that led to this operational failure, so that we can ensure it never happens again.”
