"#BREAKING: Brandon New body camera footage shows police confronting Trump gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks before he opened fire from a rooftop.

Watch as brand new bodycam footage has been released, showing a police officer being lifted to the roof of the AGR building, where a man, later identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, shot at former President Donald Trump during his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. The footage captures the moment when an officer from the Butler Township Police Department attempted to reach the roof, where the suspected gunman was located. Another officer assisted in lifting him after rally attendees alerted the police to an individual on the roof near the rally site where Trump was scheduled to speak. Officers described Crooks as having glasses, long hair, a backpack, and an AR-15 rifle. After Crooks was taken out by a Secret Service Countersniper team, there was confusion on why the roof where Crooks was perched was unmanned.

Police Release New Bodycam Footage From Trump Shooting, Showing Rooftop Incident

The new bodycamera footage was released by the Butler County Police Department shows the officer who confronted the shooter.

Bodycam footage from a local Pennsylvania officer who tried to get on the roof where a man shot at former President Donald Trump last month was released on Thursday.

The footage shows the moment an officer with the Butler Township Police Department tried to get on the roof of a building where suspected gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks was perched. Another officer helped lift the responding officer to the roof after rally attendees alerted police that there was an individual on the roof near the rally where Trump was set to speak.
In the clip, an officer is seen moving toward a building before another officer tries to hoist him onto the roof. The officer is then seen trying to climb onto the building before he drops down.

Only officers' hands are seen as he tries to get onto the roof in the video, which does not show Crooks.

Butler Township Police Department Lt. Matthew Pearson last month told a local Pennsylvania news outlet that the officer was not able to draw his firearm because he was holding onto the building. And Butler County Sheriff Michael Slupe told the New York Post last month that the officers who interrupted Crooks may have distracted the shooter before he shot at the former president, hitting him in the ear.

"If I'm interrupted, and I move my gun, you are going to have to reassess that whole situation at this point, so yes, you can make a case that those two officers saved the president's life," Slupe told the paper.

He then asked, "Can you imagine 10 seconds before that? That the president was looking straight ahead and where that bullet could have potentially landed."

More than three weeks after the assassination attempt, federal officials have not disclosed the Crooks's motive. So far, few details have emerged about the suspect, and his family has not issued a public statement responding to the incident.

The Epoch Times has contacted the Butler Township Police Department for comment.

Previous Footage Released

Separate bodycam footage from a responding official was released in connection to the July 13 shooting, which killed a rally attendee and injured two others. In late July, Sen. Chuck Grassley's (R-Iowa) office released rooftop bodycam footage of an officer who responded to the shooting—after Crooks was killed by a Secret Service sniper.

It shows an officer with the Beaver County Emergency Services Unit standing next to a dark-suited man, who appears to be a Secret Service agent, according to a press release from Grassley's office.

In the clip, at least three other law enforcement officials can be seen, although it is not clear exactly how many were present on the roof when the footage was filmed.

On the ground next to them appears to be the body of Crooks. Although the shooter's body has been partially blurred in the video, a long trail of blood on the roof can be seen.

The Beaver County officer and the purported Secret Service agent can be heard discussing the timeline of events they believe led up to the assassination attempt, including whether the man lying on the ground next to them is the same man seen in a photo sent out by a member of Beaver County's sniper team.

"So, this is the guy … that the sniper saw," the agent says.

"Yes, a Beaver County sniper seen [sic] and sent the pictures out, this is him," the officer replies.

The Secret Service agent then asks whether or not an abandoned bike that was found in the area belonged to the shooter.

"We don't know," the officer responds.

The Beaver County officer then shows the agent photos on his phone.

"I don't know if you got the same ones I did?" the officer asks the agent, referring to the photos.

"I think I did, yeah, he's [the shooter] got his glasses on," the agent replies.

Two days later, Grassley released additional bodycam footage "filmed in the hour following the attempted assassination," also obtained from the Beaver County emergency department.

That footage shows law enforcement talking about a need to use a drone to secure and inspect a water tower that was onsite, according to his office.
