Footage capturing the moment a local police officer confronted former President Donald Trump’s would-be assassin before he opened fire at the July 13 rally was released by police on Thursday.
Lt. Matthew Pearson, the acting chief of the Butler Township Police Department, shared the bodycam footage with the Washington Examiner. The videos show the experiences of several officers who responded before, during, and after the shooting and paint a clearer picture of how Thomas Crooks was able to fire on Trump despite being confronted.
