Reports indicate that law enforcement officers saw former President Donald Trump’s would-be assassin and relayed security concerns in the moments before the gunman opened fire on the MAGA leader. 

During a Trump rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday, Thomas Matthew Crooks gained access to a building approximately 130 yards from the former president’s podium. Ultimately, Crooks fired multiple shots from the building’s rooftop, killing one rally attendee and critically wounding two more as he attempted to assassinate Trump. Multiple witnesses said they could see Crooks on the rooftop with a rifle, warning police and the Secret Service about the gunman ahead of the attack on the ex-commander in chief.
