On the 14th of July 2024, US Republican Party candidate Donald Trump was shot during a campaign rally, his shooter shot dead. The gunmen fired multiple shots resulting in at least 1 other visitor dying.[1] The shooter, by media reported to be "Thomas Crooks", fired eight rounds from an AR-15–style rifle. Apart from Trump, three male rally attendees were hit. U.S. Representative Ronny Jackson said a bullet had grazed his nephew's neck, who was left bleeding. This was the first time that a former or current U.S. president or presidential candidate was injured in an attempted assassination since president Ronald Reagan was shot in 1981.[2]
The FBI called the shooting an assassination attempt against the former President and dispatched a "counterterrorism" unit to take over the investigation.[3][4] Questions remain about witnesses recalling seeing the shooter move up and down a roof minutes before, they notifying the police, but the police ignoring their screams.[5][6]

Contents
Official narrative
On July 13 2024, shots were fired at US Presidential candidate Doanld Trump at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania. Trump was shot in the upper right ear during the shooting. He ducked to the ground and was surrounded by the Secret Service. Trump survived. At least one other person died on the spot, as well as the shooter.[7] Witnesses and local law enforcement were reported as having seen a shooter that was shot dead within 1 minute from a sloped roof 200-400 feet away from Trump.
Attendees reported seeing 20-year-old Thomas Crooks acting suspiciously near rally metal detectors, according to CNN, with local law enforcement being notified and broadcasting warnings over their radios to the Secret Service to be on the lookout for him. He was also reportedly seen with a rifle outside of a security checkpoint to gain entrance into the rally. Police apparently failed to locate him while those alerts were out, before finally responding to reports of an armed man on top of a roof. US Secret Service blamed local police for not securing the perimeter and that was their job. The USSS was only tasked according to a CNN report with securing the rally ground.[8]
A bomb squad was called in a for a large car hours after the incident belonging to Crooks, multiple home-made bombs were subsequently found.[9][10] The shooter was identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, reported by the New York Post.[11] Trump was discharged from the hospital with injuries to his ear the following night.[12]
The events led to widespread sympathy for Donald Trump on social media and political figures across the political spectrum both domestically and internationally urged for a decrease in tensions, condemning the assassination attempt on his life, in a rallying call of some sorts.[13][14]
Concerns
Blackrock Connection?
An unverified video emerged on 4Chan and Reddit, originating from Youtube, on the channel of deep state financier Blackrock. The video appears to show the shot shooter Crooks in a sponsored add for a teacher of Crooks his former high school.[15]
Polarizing perspective
The New York Times ran a poll 2 weeks earlier with political scientist Robert Pape that revealed that 10% of respondents said "use of force is justified to prevent Donald Trump from becoming president".[16]
Secret Service Threat
Congressman Mike Waltz said "I have very reliable sources telling me there have been repeated requests for stronger secret service protection for President Trump. Denied by Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas," on X.[17] Kaitlin Collins of CNN reported that Trump's security detail was "recently strengthened" for unknown reasons.[18] The apparent "oversight" resulted in The US House Oversight Committee summoning the head of the U.S. Secret Service to testify.[19]
Shooter spotted
| A video showing the Secret Service Sniper in the line of sight of the shooter - and both him and the spotter - adjusting their sight suggesting the officers on the ground being notified of a shooter minutes before the shooter shot Donald Trump did not act on this information. |
Multiple witnesses, including one telling the BBC came forward that multiple people saw a shooter less than 130 meters away from the site crawling up a roof with a rifle minutes before the shooting occurred. They notified the US Secret Service with arm gestures and screaming, both failed to gather the attention of the agents nearby.[20][21] Another witness identified as "Ben Macer" reported to local media he saw the shooter move from "roof to roof". Macer waved to officers on site, who also not responded or spotted the shooter themselves.[22]
Secret Service agents line of sight
| A local official apparently encountered the shooter moments before he fired eight rounds into the ground, CBS News Pittsburgh reports. |
Another video, broadcasted by CNN on 3:06 GMT pointed out that the counter snipers of the US Secret Service were in direct line of sight of the shooter and would have been able to saw the shooter move first before coming back up and taking the shot. The USS sniper flinched back after seeing the shooter. After the shots were fired, he then did engage and killed the sniper. Why the shooter wasn't taken out immediately, or why the shooter wasn't spotted when we he was bear crawling and peeking over the roof - seen by witnesses - was not clear or questioned during press moments with the US Department of Homeland Security by CCM.[23][24][25]
Downplaying
CNN, ABC, NBC and several international media called the shooting a "shooting incident", even after the FBI opened up an assassination probe into the shooting and the shooter was pictured with military combat clothing and an AR-15.[26] [27][28]
RFK Jr
Calls were made for independent candidate RFK Jr to get new Secret Service protection normally only reserved for former presidents.[29] A week earlier, FOIA files showed at least 30 threats made against the life of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. made in 2024.[30][31]
