Body cam video shows Secret Service response on roof after Trump rally shooter was killed

Newly released body camera footage shows police on the roof where Donald Trump’s would-be assassin shot at the former president during the deadly July 13 rally in Butler.

Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa shared the video on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, on Tuesday. The video was obtained from the Beaver County Emergency Service Unit after requests from Congress, he wrote.

The video appears to show Thomas Matthew Crooks lying dead after being shot and killed by Secret Service personnel.

Feet away from Crooks' body, local law enforcement personnel are huddling with a man believed to be a U.S. Secret Service agent. The timestamp at the start of the video is 7:08 p.m.

"So this is the guy?" the agent can be heard asking.

The officer, who is wearing the body camera in question, answers in the affirmative.

"Beaver County snipers seen him, sent the pictures out," he says. "This is him."

The conversation later appears to reveal that the agent in question had already seen the pictures circulated by local law enforcement officers, who alerted others to a person they deemed to be suspicious.
