Eyewitness Video Captures Incident
Secret Service Agents Respond Swiftly
Eyewitness video footage has surfaced showing the moment when Thomas Matthew Crooks allegedly opened fire on former President Donald Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. The incident occurred on Saturday evening, just minutes after Trump began his speech.
Two videos posted on social media, verified by The New York Times, appear to show Crooks aiming a rifle at Trump. Law enforcement sources at the scene told CNN that Crooks was positioned on a building rooftop just outside the venue.
The videos show Secret Service agents quickly responding to the gunshots and apprehending Crooks. Former President Trump was rushed off the stage unharmed.
Eyewitness testimony and satellite imagery examined by BBC Verify corroborate the footage. The investigation into the shooting is ongoing.
