The Trump rally gunman was laid out on his belly, took aim and fired shots into the crowd before he got met with incoming bullets that killed him ... and TMZ has it all on video.
We've obtained an incredible clip that shows the moment the gunman opened fire at the Butler, PA rally Saturday -- and you can see the guy looking through either a scope or iron sights on a roof ... with people watching down below and freaking out, their panic palpable.
The guy has longer brown hair, and he seems to be wearing a grey shirt/khaki pants -- and as you can see, he's carefully trying pinpoint a target from afar before pulling the trigger.
The cameraman, Michael Difrischia, panned back to the gunman after the retaliating rounds could be heard ... and sure enough, you see the gunman laying there limp and lifeless. You can hear someone off-camera say, "That's exactly why we need f***ing Trump here."

most likely he or his co-conspirators pre-positioned the ladder along side the building ... after all, aluminum extension ladders lying on the ground along the side of industrial buildings in little nooks no one usually visits anyway would hardly look suspicious ...
” looking at the guy for at least 44 seconds”
Yeh, while a voice in their ear bud kept saying don’t shoot.
Biden SS pretty weak, Trump needs to have his own Security, some ex Military badasses.
And why weren't the by-standers' reports of a man with a gun immediately passed to the agents around Trump?
From an account on X named ‘DCDraino”. He is usually pretty reliable.
That is exactly how it appears. Fact is that roof should have been totally secured and covered. This is looking really ugly.
He could put Bongino in charge.
Your words make a lot of sense to me.
I admit that have no actual experience. Still, it would seem that with the bill forward, one would always have to think about it. If there is no benefit to having the bill forward, just turn it around.
That is the inconvenient fact.
The closest roof. Only 130 yards away. Clearly visible. It was, not only, the most obvious location to cover - the coincidence that it was taken advantage of by a clueless Antifa 20 year old useful idiot is inexplicable unless it was allowed.
It certainly was. The same guy who ran the J-6 hearings called for Trump’s Secret Service protection to be removed. They didn’t remove it, but they reduced the quality. They certainly didn’t have any sharp shooters there.
I think that the sharp shooters were waiting for orders from higher ups that never came.
Yep, it’s obvious the Secret Service wasn’t up to the task yesterday.
Unusual mounts on the scopes of both rifles. Could they be video recorders that save what is seen through the rifle’s optics? These are expensive sniper rifles, not the vanilla style most folks think of when they hear AR... I’m sure the results of the investigation will provide answers...
I hear the initial shots, the first of which seems to strike Trump. Then a volley of shots, presumably return fire. The video of the agent on the roof shoes that he balked during the first three shots. I don’t believe he actually fired. He balked.
Then, it seems there is a final, single shot, 8 or 9 seconds after the volley of multiple shots.
I’ll bite. What is that symbol on the back of his T-shirt?
Yep, that’s my observation as well. They balked at the sound of initial fire.
Deep State TOOL Thomas Crooks? Hmmm...
My job is a little more involved with my 870 shotgun with a blinding light attached. No, I'm not going to look for he/they in our 3000 sq ft. house. I find the best high ground vantage point to hide, and gives me the largest panoramic view. Yes, not every intrusion happens at night and circumstances can interfere with our basic protocol.
When sure it's not the Wife, I fire. CA has a Castle Doctrine, but the intruder needs to be wholly inside and not trying to get inside or otherwise on the property (suburban house here). Better than most people believe about CA self defense.
End game: Once the police show up, I've racked out any live rounds and placed the gun on the floor at least 8 feet from me, while I lie on the ground with my hands behind my back. What do you think of our protocol?
Pics at site. This article is from two hours after the shooting and before a lot of information had come out. But, it shows a picture of the perp laying on the roof and taking aim. >>>> ANd the SS sniper aiming back. Failing to provide covering fire for our president who is lined up to be shot. After the perp shoots several people the sniper takes him out. Maybe the SS Sniper should have waited longer so the perp could have finished the job or taken out more Trump supporters.
The shooter wasn’t in front of Trump but off to his right side. In other words, a perfect position for a head shot. If Trump hadn’t of turned his head and shifted his stance at that precise moment, he would have had more then a grazed ear.
