A new video obtained by Fox News shows Trump rally shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks freely running across the AGR Building in Butler, Pennsylvania, where he would later shoot President Trump and several rally goers.
In the video taken at 6:08 pm, it shows Crooks running across the AGR building just three minutes before opening fire on Trump.
The new video refutes the Secret Service’s previous claims that Secret Service snipers did not spot Crooks due to being in a prone position.
Take a look at the video here:
New video of the moments before the Trump assassination attempt further shows that it makes zero sense the Secret Service simply missed the shooter.
He was literally running across the roof in plain sight.

This is insane…
New video from the Trump assassination attempt shows Thomas Crooks not stealthily crawling on the AGR roof, but literally running across.
The Secret Service either allowed this or is so incompetent it’s truly hard to believe.pic.twitter.com/CxlV4vISlN

Fox News broke the story:
A video from James Copenhaver, one of the victims critically wounded in the July 13 assassination attempt against former President Trump, shows a figure moving across the roof of the American Glass Research (AGR) building just minutes before gunfire rang out at Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
In the video taken at 6:08 p.m. on July 13, the person appears on the roof of the building adjacent to where Trump is speaking and can be seen walking from the 1:00 second mark to about the 2:50 second mark.
Officials believe gunman Thomas Crooks, 20, began shooting with a collapsible AR-15-style rifle three minutes later, around 6:11 p.m. Counter snipers fatally shot Crooks shortly afterward, and law enforcement officials found eight shell casings near his body.
In his attempt to assassinate the former president, Crooks killed 50-year-old Corey Comperatore, a husband, father and former fire chief at the Buffalo Township Volunteer Fire Department. Crooks also critically wounded Copenhaver, 74, and David Dutch, 57. Both victims were shot twice, according to those familiar with both victims.
Copenhaver was discharged from Allegheny General Hospital on July 26 but is still recovering in a rehabilitation center, according to attorney Joseph Feldman at the Law Offices of Max C. Feldman.
The first injury Copenhaver sustained was to his arm and the second was to his abdominal area, Feldman told Fox News Digital on Wednesday.
This video proves that the acting Secret Service Director lied yesterday. The shooter wasn’t prone the whole time at all, he was running around https://t.co/oWq8tvkW2O
