Bodycam Footage Shows Officer Come Face-to-Face with Wannabe Trump Assassin
Harrowing body camera footage has been released from the July assassination attempt on former president Donald Trump, showing a local officer attempting to confront the shooter before quickly dropping from the roof and fleeing.
The footage, shot by Butler Township Police Department and obtained by Fox News Digital, is over six minutes long and shows an officer’s POV of the frenzy that played out in the moments just before and after Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire.
At the beginning of the video, one officer can be seen asking to be boosted up to get a better look at the roof where Crooks is positioned. Previous reporting revealed that Crooks pointed his gun at the officer, and after ducking the officer lost his grip and fell to the ground.
