Three snipers were stationed inside building used in Trump assassination attempt
CBS News ^ | 7/15/24 | Anna Shecter

There were three snipers stationed inside the building the shooter used during Saturday's shooting of former President Donald Trump, a local law enforcement officer with direct knowledge of the incident tells CBS News.

The operations plan had them stationed inside the building looking out windows toward the Trump rally. The information about the three snipers being inside the building was first reported by BeaverCountian.com.

One of the snipers inside saw Thomas Matthew Crooks outside and looking up at the roof, observing the building and disappearing, a local law enforcement officer tells CBS News.

Crooks came back, sat down and looked at his phone. At that point, one of the snipers took a picture of him. Crooks took out a rangefinder and the sniper radioed to the command post. Crooks disappeared again and then came back a third time with a backpack. The snipers called in with information that he had a backpack and said he was walking towards the back of the building.

“Crooks took out a rangefinder and the sniper radioed to the command post”

Would anyone be surprised to find out the shooter stopped a cop and asked exactly how many yards away Trump would be and what he thought the wind might be like around Trump’s head?

Maybe asked the cop if he knew how to take the safety off an AR.

Water tower 90ft tall, 100yrds East of assassin.

No over watch?

That vantage point easily covers the area

Why is no one talking about this?

The SS just looks more and more inept, corrupt or both every day that goes by.

New York Post has a photo of Crooks which I presume is one of the cellphone pictures taken by the snipers stationed in the building that Crooks later climbed, when he initially raised suspicions.

It is taken from above so either Crooks was crawling, or the person who took the photo was the roof.

There are reports they saw Crooks with a rangefinder???!!

Isn't this when a whole team of cops is supposed to converge on Crooks?

Our lying corrupt Government (which includes the media) will provide kaos and confusion to the facts.

I think Crooks was seen asking LEO what the best firing position was “outside” the venue. They told him this buildng would be good. There is a ladder over there. Good luck.

He absolutely was more proficient than that tubby little SS chick. Did you see how she was waiving her firearm around before she figured out how to holster it? Did you know he was at the range that day?

we'll probably get photos of him with the rifle over his shoulder among the dozen or so LEO's encamped at the building yucking it up.

That was my thought exactly. They would have melted the chocolate doughnuts up on that roof.
