Bombshell New Footage Reportedly Shows Trump Shooter Was Visible From Stage, Running Across Roof

New video footage from the July 13 Trump rally reveals a mysterious figure running along the roof of a building while former President Donald Trump is speaking.

The figure is small in the video, making it challenging to determine if it is Thomas Matthew Crooks, the individual who attempted to assassinate Trump from the roof of the American Glass Research Building in Butler, Pennsylvania.

No other individuals were reported on the roof when the video was taken.

The angle from which the figure is visible matches the angle from which the shooter fired eight bullets, injuring three people (including Trump) and killing one.

The figure appears at the beginning of the video, moves out of sight, and then reappears towards the end of the footage.

The video did not surface earlier because it was recorded by rallygoer James Copenhaver, who was critically wounded that day, according to Fox News.

The video was taken at 6:08 p.m., three minutes before Trump was shot.

Copenhaver, seated behind Trump and to Trump's left, was not filming when he was hit, explained Joseph Feldman, a lawyer representing Copenhaver.

“He had almost seen or heard something whiz past him, which we’re assuming was a bullet. He felt it on his arm, and he looked down at his arm…and felt pain initially, but he hadn’t even realized he had been shot a second time at that point. It could have been shock,” Feldman said.

A timeline published by The New York Times indicated that as of 6 p.m. that day, one officer working security for the event believed Crooks was moving away from the rally.

However, around that time, Crooks was actually gaining access to the American Glass Research complex. He then moved from roof to roof of the adjoining buildings until he reached the building closest to the stage.

The Times timeline noted that by 6:09 p.m., spectators at the rally became aware of Crooks on the roof of the AGR building where he positioned himself to shoot Trump.

This triggered a search for Crooks, including an incident where a local police officer climbed onto another officer's shoulders and spotted Crooks, who then pointed his gun at the officer, prompting the officer to jump down.

An ABC report mentioned that according to federal officials, Secret Service members spotted Crooks on the roof at 5:52 p.m.

Despite contradictions in the accounts, there is currently no definitive official timeline of events, and much of that day's timeline remains unclear.
