The gunman who attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump Saturday was identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, sources told The Post.

Crooks, of Bethel Park, Pa., squeezed off shots — one of which grazed Trump in the ear — at an outdoor rally in Butler, just outside Pittsburgh.

Sources said Crooks was was planted on a roof of a manufacturing plant more than 130 yards away from the stage at Butler Farm Show grounds.

You got it. Pretty sccucint as well. It's all just coincidence. No planning or law enforcement ignoring the guy who was:

"bear crawling"

on the roof with a rifle for several key minutes before the shooting started,all just coincidence.

How could someone be able to get to the roof of the building closest to PTrump speaking without the SS and LE. thinking he was authorized? What authorization was he carrying?

The head shot may prevent dental ID

Wow. I had not seen that video.

It clearly shows people saw the sniper on the roof... people panicking... then shots being fired... Then the dead sniper. We also have seen drone pictures and after death pictures confirming this was the shooter

But I had seen this video.

This tells me that cops had a bead on the sniper but waited till he fired first.

They returned fire even before Trump hit the deck.

Proof positive they Secret Service watched the sniper on the roof before they returned fire.

I wish I knew how to save these videos to a hard drive. Cause I wouldn't be surprised if they get scrubbed before tomorrow morning.

Why would law enforcement not shoot first,why wait until the shooter shot first?

That guy was trolling. He pretended to act like shooter in a pic that got circulated. He did a video saying you got the wrong guy. I said earlier that ears don’t match

I saw that witness say that live on the “Real America’s News” station.

Also... the SS standing over the shooter's body certainly looks like they were there to administer the coup de gras

***looks like a he-she***

Like the Nashville school shooter... I wondered about that early on in the incident. These people appear to be programmed killers; their focus seems to be on death. 💥

Two shooters.

Yep. Possibly 3:

1)The leftist incel,
2) countersniper,
3) + CAT overwatch team.

Shooter fires multiple shots, CAT team fires probably SR25 suppression return fire, hits sniper....several seconds counter sniper puts .300 WinMAG or higher into his skill to deadcheck him. This is why you heard "MOVE MOVE MOVE"...and then they stopped. Counter sniper was probably saying "HOLD" and they put a round in the skull to "dead check" the shooter. THEN they moved.

Have we ever heard the parent of a deceased shooter that was living with them say what this father did, that he’d have to talk to law enforcement before he said anything?

In cases like this known guilty dead perps deserve zero privacy right . Make all their medical and psych history public. No privacy claims.by providers thereof. Redact only mentions of third parties, but index those redactions so can be unredacted for any conspirators later found

Latest radio reports of TV Sunday morning shows says Trump has the same number of SS, they were there several days in advance, the sniper team has responsibility for 1000 feet perimeter, how the heck did they let someone in the building? My question, was the building hosting employees in the preceding days, and were employees counted coming and going? As well, was security video in place and reviewed several times a day in advance?

If he had that girlfriend, wonder if he or she were worried she might get pregnant, then couldn’t do anything about it over the next 25 years if they stayed together? People can get pretty crazy when they feel they have lost important choices.
