The Last Photo of Donald Trump’s Would-Be Assassin Taken 45 Minutes Before Gunshots Fired
New reporting revealed that the Secret Service circulated the last known photo of the gunman who attempted to assassinate Donald Trump to local law enforcement at around 5:30 p.m. on Saturday.
The image, taken roughly 45 minutes before gunshots rained over the Pennsylvania rally by a local counter sniper and sent to law enforcement, raises questions on why the agency failed to neutralize the soon-to-be shooter, 20-year-old Thomas Crooks.
The last photo of Crooks shows him crawling on the ground, looking to find a position to hunker down in while he waited to take a shot at the former president. He was wearing a t-shirt of the popular gun channel on YouTube, Demolition Ranch, with his glasses and long sandy brown hair tucked behind his ears.
