New footage from Donald Trump’s Pennsylvania rally shooting shows local cops armed with guns surrounding the building from where suspect Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire two minutes and 10 seconds before the shooting. Gunfire can later be heard in the video, and the crowd can be seen reacting. A witness can even be heard saying that it must have been a headshot because of the “big poof of hair.”
Trump can be heard in the video, posted to X by user realDJStew724, speaking to the audience at the rally. The clip was shot at the base of the AGR International factory as Crooks had positioned himself on the roof, preparing to carry out the shooting.
As cops moved around the building with Trump continuing to speak at the rally, unaware of the danger, a woman standing nearby said, “There’s f–king cops surrounding this whole entire f–king building right now.”
For two minutes and ten seconds, bystanders told each other to “make yourself small,” and then someone screamed, “He’s got a gun!” A loud bang can then be heard, which is followed by the sound of gunfire.
Bystanders ducked for cover and tried to make sense of what happened. After a final shot, the cameraman asked somebody, “Did they pick him off?”
“F–k yeah, I saw a big poof of hair go up in the air. They got him right in the head. Big poof of hair,” a man replied, as the crowd could be heard cheering at the rally with Trump getting up with blood on his face, pumping his fist.
