Video Shows Secret Service Snipers Fire at Gunman From Roof at Trump Rally

Donald Trump has the Secret Service’s snipers to thank for neutralizing a gunman who apparently attempted to assassinate him. This dramatic sequence was captured on video, revealing in real-time how the agents swiftly took action seconds after the assailant fired his weapon.

The now-viral video, posted by a TikTok user, offers a different perspective on the shooting incident, providing a detailed account of what transpired moments before the shots rang out at the rally in Butler. This new angle gives us an eye-opening view of the critical moments leading up to the chaos.

The video shows at least two Secret Service agents positioned on what appears to be a barn rooftop, weapons at the ready, seemingly tracking a target from a distance. Below them, Trump is seen on stage, finishing a sentence just as the shots ring out, causing immediate panic among the crowd.

Almost instantaneously, one of the rooftop snipers can be seen firing their weapon in response to the gunman. The recoil of the gun is visibly heavy. The gunman was successfully neutralized by the sniper.

Interestingly, it seems the rooftop snipers might have been aware of the gunman’s presence across the way for some time. This aligns with eyewitness accounts suggesting that law enforcement was alerted to the threat but didn’t act quickly enough to prevent the initial shots from being fired.

One witness detailed how cops and some Secret Service agents knew about the gunman on the roof before he opened fire. The witness questioned the delayed response, a concern that merits further investigation.

Trump claimed that he was shot in the ear. Once the shots were fired, Secret Service agents immediately pounced, shielding Trump, and escorting him swiftly out of harm’s way into a vehicle. Despite being led away, Trump was defiant, pumping his fist to rally the crowd. He was seen bleeding from his ear but is reported to be in good condition.

Tragically, one other rally attendee was killed in the chaos and at least two others are critically injured. The shooter was taken out by the Secret Service agents, but the fallout from the incident continues to reverberate.

Trump has spoken out about the shooting, thanking law enforcement and expressing his dismay that such an event could occur in 2024. The identity of the gunman remains unknown, though various videos and photos of the aftermath are circulating online.

The incident is being investigated as an attempted assassination, highlighting the ongoing threats faced by public figures.
