Secret Service, FBI respond to Trump rally video showing figure on roof minutes before gunfire
SUMMARY
The Secret Service and FBI are examining a video recorded by James Copenhaver, a victim of the July 13th assassination attempt on former President Trump. The footage, taken at 6:08 p.m., shows a figure on a rooftop minutes before gunman Thomas Crooks fired eight shots, killing one and injuring two others, including Copenhaver. The Secret Service stated, "The Secret Service is committed to better understanding what happened before, during, and after the assassination attempt of former President Trump to ensure that never happens again." The FBI added it is "aware of the video but has no further comment." Crooks, who had researched the JFK assassination and scouted the rally site, gained access to the rooftop by climbing HVAC equipment and had a direct line of sight to Trump.
