On a fateful Saturday in Western Pennsylvania, Thomas Matthew Crooks, fueled by his misguided beliefs, attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump during a rally. A diligent local police officer had nearly intercepted him before he could carry out his heinous act. This incident was reported by the Associated Press.
Several observant attendees at the rally noticed a man suspiciously climbing onto the rooftop of a nearby building, approximately 130 yards from where Trump was speaking. They saw him armed and tried to alert law enforcement officers present at the scene.
A brave officer ascended a ladder to the rooftop only to be met with Crooks pointing his rifle at him. He was forced to retreat. Unfazed, Crooks hastily aimed and fired at our beloved former President Trump. However, swift action by U.S. Secret Service snipers neutralized him within seconds.

Regrettably, one of the shots fired by Crooks grazed former President Trump’s ear, and another tragically killed an innocent bystander, Corey Comperatore. A retired firefighter and a father of two, Comperatore heroically died while shielding his family from the gunfire.
The AP report corroborates the statements provided by rally attendees in the aftermath of the assassination attempt. One man shared with the BBC that he and other attendees had spotted the shooter on the roof and tried to alert law enforcement.
“We noticed a guy crawling up the roof of the building beside us, 50 feet away from us. We’re standing there, we’re pointing at him,” he said.
The Secret Service has confirmed that the building from which Crooks fired was outside the security perimeter, despite its close proximity to the podium.
Upon searching Crooks’ residence, bomb squad units discovered several “suspicious packages,” and explosive devices in his vehicle. Preliminary investigation indicates that Crooks acted alone and there is no current threat to the public associated with this attack. At the time of the shooting, he was not under surveillance by any federal or state law enforcement agencies.
President Biden informed reporters that he has communicated with former President Trump and intends to address the nation from the Oval Office tonight.
