US News: Bodycam Footage Captures Moments After Man Who Attempted to Assassinate Donald Trump Was Fatally Shot
Bodycam footage shows law enforcement officers gathered near the body of the man who was shot dead after trying to assassinate Donald Trump.
The video has emerged as the former president plans to no longer hold outdoor rallies following the attempt on his life in Butler, Pennsylvania, sources familiar with his campaign’s operations have told Sky’s partner network NBC News.
Thomas Crooks, 20, was gunned down on the rooftop from where he had taken a shot at Mr Trump on 13 July.
Crooks killed one person and wounded two others when he opened fire at the event.
Mr Trump was seen dropping to the floor after a bullet grazed his ear while he was delivering a speech at the rally.
The bodycam footage was obtained from the Beaver County Emergency Services Unit in Pennsylvania after requests from Congress.
The video, which was later shared on the X social media platform by Republican Senator Chuck Grassley, shows a long stream of blood from Crooks’s body streaking across the rooftop.
