Thomas Crooks attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump from a rooftop 130 yards away during a Pennsylvania rally at the Butler Farm Show grounds. Secret Service snipers neutralized the threat despite timing questions raised by Alexander Pochuev. Local police alerts to agents were ambiguous, as confirmed by Anthony Guglielmi. False claims on social media about sniper orders were debunked. Visual blocks may have delayed sniper action, as explained by Jason Lawless. Snipers assessed Crooks prior to shooting, despite ignored eyewitness reports of a suspicious man. The southernmost sniper team reoriented northward, and sources like New York Post and RT reported on the ongoing investigation into these events.
