Bodycam footage shows aftermath of Trump shooting

Published 2024-07-23
Newly released bodycam footage captured shortly after the attempted assassination of former president Donald Trump shows Secret Service and local law enforcement near the body of the gunman.

A trail of blood can be seen near the body of the deceased gunman, identified as 20-year-old Thomas Crooks, who was able to fire on Trump from a roof overlooking the outdoor rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13.

The bodycam video captured by Butler County Emergency Services Unit was released by the office of Republic senator Chuck Grassley, one of many members of Congress demanding a full investigation into the incident.

US Secret Service director Kimberly Cheatle resigned after the agency came under harsh scrutiny for its failure to stop a would-be assassin from wounding Trump after firing from a roof overlooking the outdoor rally on July 13.

The Secret Service faces investigations from multiple congressional committees and the internal watchdog of the US Department of Homeland Security, its parent organisation, over its performance.

    This has got to be fake. We've been told by the former director of the Secret Service that the sloped roof is too dangerous to occupy.
  • That roof slop is deadly! You can see how hard it must be to stand up Must be wearing magnetic boots 😑

    Amazing that law enforcement could stand on such a steep roof and it being so hot after the would be assassin was silenced. Weird.
  • @SA-nj7sz
    He clearly had doubts so why did he let Trump go out?
  • @DRUTLEDGE
    That 1-12 roof is frightening. The Secret Service sniper roof was a 3-12
  • @dedaoff
    Is that he slopped roof that was too dangerous?
  • @ShadowAkatora
    Jesus! What are they doing up on that sloped roof!? That's so dangerous!
  • @themobseat
    The Secret Service guy seems more like a Wal-Mart manager.

    Where's the man in the gray suit that allegedly came up to that very roof and asked for pictures of Crooks' deceased body be sent to him?
