Photos, Tweets, X posts, Instagram videos and more of the shooting yesterday have spread over the internet like wildfire. Many are fakes and hoaxes.
Early on this photo made it's way from the shadows. I first saw it here at Free Republic.
It was reported to be a drone photo of Thomas Crooks on the rooftop before he shot President Trump, killed an innocent man, and wounded others.
And with this before pic - we see an after pic of what I'm convinced is the same guy.
I've really not seen this "drone picture" since maybe last midnight. I've certainly seen no news coverage or reporting on this. Was there even a drone?
Does anyone know how and where this before picture came from? Is it legit or another hoax?
That’s grass around him . Sitting on concrete.. no
It’s him, the gun was planted somewhere.
He likely planted it.
What does grass and concrete have to do with it?
I think that’s that Violeta (?) dude that was initially reported as the shooter.
I think it’s real. I saw it before midnight here on FR.
I will say that when I go to public events outdoors in the last few years, drones have become commonplace. So this wouldn’t surprise me in the least.
The CIA, and those above the CIA, might have had someone else in another location.
This other individual might have fired the shot.
I would imagine drones took a photo of every single person at that rally. No doubt the feds are using drones with facial recognition software and high def cameras.
That’s grass around him . Sitting on concrete.. no

It’s grass, yes. 30 feet below as he’s sitting on a rooftop?
I think that’s that Violeta (?) dude that was initially reported as the shooter.

The photos I’ve seen of Violeta is one of an older heavy set Italian looking dude with a full beard. Of course those pics of Violeta could be fake, but I think we can pretty much agree - this is Crooks.
When, where, how was it taken.
The guy with the flat face looks nothing like the photos of the guy they said they shot.
pic has been on the web LONG before Saturday ... has nothing to do with butler, PA ...
Do you think that’s a picture of him before he made his move to the roof top. Maybe. I heard someone say that they saw him with a girl earlier. But I think it was when people were thinking it was a different person.
What I read is, that this is indeed a photo of Thomas, but taken a while ago, somewhere else.
Not sure. Saw it yesterday. He’s wearing the same shirt. Someone said it was from the building’s security camera.
OK, that could be true. But he must really love that shirt.
It’s the same shirt he was wearing yesterday.
Just a coincidence?
The first pict does not have the dark patch on the sleeve though.
Yes. That is a capture from a cell phone video uploaded to TMZ.
Truly Amazing video of the shooter being shot and killed.
