The shot that killed the man who attempted to assassinate former President Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, last Saturday was a "one-in-a-million shot," according to a source familiar with the investigation into the shooting.
Fox News learned from the source the kill shot was a single shot taken by a Secret Service counter sniper whose view was obscured.
A local tactical team also took a shot at the would-be assassin, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, but missed.

To prevent all this crap and speculation and incompetence in the future, Trump should hire a Goodyear Blimp to hover over all the rest of his outdoor events, with 360 degrees of HQ video coverage, and a bunch of his own trusted snipers and spotters aboard, watching everything closely.
Less disruptive and annoying than drones and helicopters, plus he could put advertising on it in lights.
I thought you were being sarcastic about the state of security. So how did he get a VIP pass?
.
Yes! Thank you!
This is one of the questions/ concerns from Congress.
“Despite Crooks pulling out his weapon, and getting into position to shoot Trump, Secret Service snipers did not do anything before he fired at Trump.”
So they reverse engineered an answer that says the Snipers couldn’t see him.
They knew he was on the Roof for 20 minutes.
Should have happened BEFORE the shooter opened fire.
The execution made the USSS heroes...
....but the lack of preparation makes them ZEROES.
.
It’s sarcasm pointed at the fact he went in and out and was seen using a range finder, retrieving a backpack, showing interests in rooftops, flying a drone, and nothing was done.
Just sarcasm
“… and could only see the shooters face…”
How far away was this sniper, if he wasn’t one of the two on the nearby roof?
I’m pretty sure I could hit a pie plate at 140 yds with a good rifle.
Planned...intentional...blown. The coverup is in full swing.
please... just shoot him THROUGH the roofing would do it
I think it was Rep. Cory Mills (an ex Army sniper and a guy who has been on thousands of protective assignments for high-value targets) who said there are no Rules of Engagement that keep you from taking out an imminent threat. Going by memory here, but I THINK he said those who say the Counter Sniper Team could not fire until the sniper fired first are full of sh!t. Somebody in the know said that a few days ago.
If the sniper is one of the good guys, I wish it would be found out that not only did he make the amazing shot, but literally hit the scope in the glass and went through his scope into his head.
I personally don’t feel like the story was a distraction. I feel like it was badass.
.
Absolutely!
That is crap.
Let’s wait until he shoots the Pope, and then we can respond. Crazy talk.
They knew for 20 minsters there was an unfriendly on the roof.
Yeh, sure! 🙄
There was a picture the other day that showed that Crooks’s position on the roof would give him a clear shot at PDJT... but for the two snipers, there was a tree in the way so it certainly didn’t look to me like they had a clear shot on Crooks. He was sort of tucked in behind the tree and the two snipers were already on the edge of their roof. The pictures and videos clearly show the two snipers looking in Crooks’s direction but because of the tree, I’ve been thinking that it was someone other than those two who took Crooks out.
Fox News.
The Deep State’s very own spin machine.
You sound suspicious of the “official story”.
I have some more things to give you more suspicion.
1) Crooks was in an ad for Blackrock.
2) Blackrock “caused” a company to short Truth Social with 12 million shares shorted on Friday. It was the largest shorting of Truth Social in history, and 3 times larger than previous shorting sales of the stock.
3) Blackrock re-released the ad earlier this week without Crooks.
4) The metadata for the video showed they recreated the video with all the same video components except without Crooks, and it was dated 2 months ago.
5) Blackrock has put nearly $500 million into various PACs and dark money PACs supporting Biden and the Dems.
6) Blackrock and Vanguard (another company involved in the shorting) have created a monopolistic control of the marketplace and shutting out dollars floating into conservative causes, or even allowing them to get funding by bank loans and much more. They’ve actively fought VISA and MasterCard from processing credit card purchases for Conservatives. Deplatforming of conservatives and more. They stand to lose several TRILLION dollars with Trump winning.
In this aerial map, it’s been zoomed in so that the building at the top is where the assassin was and the building at the bottom is where the snipers were. The tree I was referring to can be clearly seen.
I have not seen confirmation, but there were reports the shooter had a red-dot scope, which is a good choice for shooting quickly, but not so much for accuracy at range.
