Trump Attack: 2nd Shooter Video Confirmed, Water Tower Evidence Disputed—Cover Up Suspected
Trump Attack: 2nd Shooter Video Confirmed, Water Tower Evidence Disputed—Cover Up Suspected
Evidence suggests there was a ground level shooter but the water tower evidence isn't solid. Media and officials continue to ignore evidence.
Evidence has emerged suggesting multiple shooters, which have been ignored by officials and mainstream media, suggesting a cover up and an effort to maintain the lone gunman narrative for pushing gun control.
There are claims that there was a shooter on the water tower, citing various videos, which will be analyzed. Video of a ground level shooter has emerged, apparently confirming a second shooter. Additionally, several fake videos will be debunked. The gun control narrative is already in full swing, which is likely being protected by officials and the media maintaining lone gunman point of view.
Overview
The following evidence suggests the Secret Service was either grossly incompetent or was in some way an accomplice to the attack.
Multiple instances occurred where the Secret Service identified Crooks as suspicious yet allowed him to proceed unmolested. Multiple rally attendees alerted security, but they never acted to stop Crooks. The sniper team appears to have spotted Crooks on the roof moments before he opened fire, but did not take the shot to stop him.
Additionally, the initial media coverage filmed eyewitnesses claiming to have seen a second shooter, and possible corroborating evidence of these accounts has surfaced. Evidence has emerged that appears to show a ground level shooter hitting several people in the sands to the left of Trump, right of the stage facing Trump.
Cover-Up Suspected
The media and officials have ignored these accounts of a second shooter and ignored the audio analysis evidence, suggesting a cover-up similar to past covert operations.
Case in point: during the September 11th, 2001 attacks, eyewitnesses reported explosions (here and here) in the towers before the planes hit. These reports of explosions were later regarded as fake, despite the fact that films of explosions later surfaced, suggesting a coverup.
The FBI maintains that the shooter acted alone, according to CNN. The media and the usual gun control pushers have jumped at the opportunity.
Gun Control Agenda on Display
Within days, Rosie O'Donnell voiced her comments that this event should prove the US needs to institute gun control.
Here’s Steven King making an attempt on Trump’s life to push gun control.
The University of Sidney wrote an article with the headline, Past shootings of “US presidents led to new gun controls - will this one?” Here’s another headline from Northeastern Global News, “How will the assassination attempt of former President Trump impact the Republican National Convention?”
Debunking Footage of Claiming to Show the Moment Trump’s Ear Was Grazed by Bullet
The video below purports to capture the instant when the bullet grazes Trump's ear. However, the video is actually a mirror image of the original footage, doctored in some way. Notice the inverted American flag and the bloody woman behind Trump.
This is the original shot of Trump being hit by the bullet.
What reason would there be for the doctor's footage?
Popularity alone can lead individuals to fabricate or misrepresent an event in order to gain notoriety. Additionally, the deep state has a vested interest in discrediting researchers and the truth community in general. Spreading fake conspiracy-related information that they can later debunk discredits actual investigators with valid findings.
Recall what Obama said about the tool of spreading disinformation to cause people to lack trust and otherwise be more controllable.
Former Sniper and Green Beret
According to an alleged former Green Beret and a level one sniper who claims to be familiar with the way security for the president would work, there were obvious failures on the part of the Secret Service. He claims, there should have been a sniper team on the roof that Thomas Matthew Crooks used.
In a statement, the Secret Service said that they intentionally didn’t place agents on the roof because there was a hazard of a slight slop on the roof, as reported by the Gateway Pundit.
Cheatle said, “That building, in particular, has a sloped roof at its highest point. And so, you know, there’s a safety factor that would be considered there that we wouldn’t want to put somebody up on a sloped roof. And so, you know, the decision was made to secure the building, from inside.”
Cheatle's excuse that the roof was too slopped is easily debunkable, as the counter-sniper team was on a roof with a higher slope than the one Crooks used to shoot at Trump.
Additionally, this image shows a sniper on the White House's roof with a much greater slope angle.
Multiple Encounters with Suspect Crooks
In an Axios posted on Thursday, it is reported the Secret Service informed House legislators of suspicious person reports at least nine minutes prior to the former President's arrival at the Pennsylvania rally where he was shot on Saturday during a briefing yesterday.
Axios reports,
Why it matters: The briefing came amid frustrations from lawmakers over the lack of information provided about the shooting as multiple House committees launch probes into the assassination attempt on Trump.
FBI and Secret Service officials briefed House lawmakers on Wednesday on their preliminary findings.
The Secret Service said they identified the building used in the assassination attempt as "an area of concern" as early as five days ahead of the event, according to audio obtained by Axios.
No political or ideological information was found in the suspect's house, including his bedroom, officials told House lawmakers.
Below is the timeline of Saturday's most crucial events, as relayed to lawmakers on Wednesday by Secret Service Deputy Director Ronald Rowe.
5:51pm: USSS notified of a suspicious person with a rangefinder on the outer perimeter.
5:52pm: The USSS Security room disseminated info to USSS counter sniper response team and additional response agents on the ground.
6:00pm: Trump walked on stage.
6:10pm: USSS counter sniper unit informed security room that local police were addressing an issue on the outer perimeter.
6:11pm: Trump's site agent contacted their USSS counterpart to inquire about the issue on the outer perimeter. Shots are fired.
FBI deputy director Paul Abbate walked members through the suspect's movements ahead of the attack on July 13, a source on the call confirmed to Axios.
July 6: Searched "where will Trump speak from on Saturday 13" and "when is the DNC convention".
July 7: Traveled to Butler to get an advance of the venue and he remained there for 20 minutes.
July 11: Searched "Butler farm show photos".
July 12: Went to the Clairton Sportsmen's Club where he shot two firearms.
July 13: The suspect searched "Trump rally Butler, PA and "Allegheny arms."
At 10am, he revisited the Butler farm show grounds and was there for 70 minutes.
At 1:30pm, the suspect returned to his home and his father provided him a rifle for the purpose of what he believed was to go back to the the sportsman club to shoot.
At 1:54pm, the suspect purchased 50 rounds of ammunition and traveled back to the fairgrounds.
Between the lines: Officials said at the briefing that they've started putting together a profile of the suspect.
He lived at home with his parents and a sister. Family members described him as fairly intelligent, a loner, and being a little odd.
He never discussed politics or expressed any political ideology.
He took firearms courses at a gun range, where an instructor recalls that he was quiet, non-aggressive and a loner.
The intrigue: The shooter used three encrypted platforms in Germany, New Zealand and Belgium.
The FBI uncovered a number of the shooter's searches for images "of public figures of a variety, including both President Biden and former President Trump, and some limited online activity reflecting the subject's state of mind," but noted encrypted communications have limited their ability to obtain certain information.
The FBI has served legal processes on 30 companies and is waiting on returns from 18 of those companies, including foreign encrypted applications.
What's next: Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) have requested a classified briefing take place next week, where members are slated to obtain additional information on the incident.
Suspicions Person Spotted on Building Roof
Local police also alerted the Secret Service to a suspicious person in the area, according to NBC.
Before a would-be assassin took aim at Donald Trump during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday, local police officers notified the former president’s Secret Service detail that they were looking for a suspicious person in the area, a U.S. official told NBC News.
The suspicious person, later identified as Thomas Crooks, 20, was first flagged to local police officers by rallygoers on their way into the event. The attendees reported they saw Crooks pacing and behaving strangely near the magnetometers, four officials told NBC News.
USSS Failed to Sweep Building
The Secret Service failed to sweep the building that Crooks used, according to the Mirror.
According to new reports from CBS, the Secret Surface failed to sweep the building where 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks used the rooftop to fire at the former president. Despite the building having a direct line of sight to the stage where Trump's campaign rally was held the building was allegedly "outside of the security perimeter."
The building where the gunman attempted to assassinate the 78-year-old politician was the AGR International Inc. factory in Butler, Pennsylvania and was located 130 yards (118 meters) away from the venue where the rally was held. It was also revealed that there was a counter-sniper team stationed inside of the building at the time of the attack.
Crooks Walks In
Crooks boldly walked onto the scene with a rifle and ladder, climbed the roof, and prepared himself to take his shot at Trump.
Before that, Crooks was spotted well before the shooting took place, setting off metal detectors, holding a range finder, and acting suspiciously, reports the DailyMail.
A Secret Service counter-sniper team codenamed 'Hawkeye' also spotted him looking at their position through the rangefinder.
…
The gunman was also acting strangely around the metal detectors that attendees were forced to walk through before entering the event grounds. Witnesses said that Crooks was furiously checking his phone and operating a hunting range finder.
Crooks was refused entry at the security entry, and a picture of Crooks was passed around to the Secret Service.
He attempted entry around this point but set the detector off and was refused, sources said.
Around 5:30pm a picture of Crooks was circulated to various members of the Secret Service after reports about his suspicious behavior were made to security.
The picture shows Crooks wearing a t-shirt with the logo for popular YouTube channel Demolition Ranch.
Lost Track of Crooks
Security personnel lost track of Crooks, despite the fact that he was an identified potential threat.
At some point, officers lost track of Crooks. He was next seen climbing to the roof of the American Glass Research building. Around seven minutes later, he opened fire on Donald Trump.
Trump took to the stage at 6:03 pm, an hour behind schedule. The gunfire rang out at the venue approximately 6:11 pm.
Local Law Enforcement Approached Crooks but Did not Detain the Shooter
Moments before Crooks shot at Trump, an officer confronted him on the roof but did not attempt to arrest or detain him.
Butler County Sheriff Michael Slupe told the AP that a local officer climbed to the roof and encountered Crooks, who saw the officer and turned toward him just before the officer dropped down to safety.
Slupe said the officer couldn’t have wielded his own gun under the circumstances.
The officer retreated down the ladder, and Crooks quickly took a shot toward Trump, and that’s when Secret Service snipers shot him, according to two officials who spoke to AP on condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation.

Tom Knights Interview
Tom Knights, a manager of the Butler Pennsylvania Township, speaks to a reporter about what his officer saw as he approached Crooks.
Knights says that two officers started a sweep of area around the building. The officers couldn’t see the top of the building. One of the officers gave the other a boost, lifting him high enough so he could grab the roof and lift himself up to see what was on top. That officer saw a man on the roof with a weapon, the shooter. The shooter turned and pointed his weapwon toward the officer, who was unable to duck due to the fact he was hanging from the roof, nor could the officer draw his weapon to neutralize Crooks. The officer then fell down to the ground in a defensive respond, to evade Crooks potential attack, hurting himself from the eight foot drop. The officers radioed the blanket channel being used for event security that there was a man on the roof with a weapon, alerting all listeners, including Secret Service to the fact a dangerous man was on the roof.
Manager Knights’ account confirms that the entire event security team knew of a dangerous assailant well before Crooks initiated his attack.
Multiple rally attendees saw Crooks and attempted to alert security; it appears that the sniper team spotted Crooks but did not attempt to shoot him.
Evidence of Multiple Shooters
Evidence suggests that at least two additional shooters were present at the Butler Pennsylvania Rally, the scene of Trump's near assassination.
According to several initial eyewitness accounts provided to the news, one shooter was at ground level and hit several event attendees in the stands, while another shooter was on the water tower.
An apparent weapon discharge provides evidence of the ground-level shooter.
The video evidence of the water tower shooter is a significant distance away, making it difficult to confirm what it is. A black smudge appears to move near the top of the water tower, which suggests to some that it is a shooter. However, this is likely not evidence of a shooter, as will be shown.
Forensic Audio Analysis Indicates Weapons Fire from Three Distinct Sources
First, on July 15th, CNN reported that audio forensics suggest as many as three weapons were fired at the rally.
The first three shots were consistent with alleged weapon A, the next five were consistent with alleged weapon B, and the final “acoustic impulse” was emitted by a possible weapon C, per audio analysis by Catalin Grigoras, director of the National Center for Media Forensics at the University of Colorado in Denver, and Cole Whitecotton, Senior Professional Research Associate at the same institution.
Audio analysis has also confirmed that the gunman was about 360 to 393 feet from the podium, according to forensics expert Robert Maher.
This conclusion aligns with CNN’s analysis that the gunman was on a rooftop 393 to 492 feet from the podium when shots rang out.
The shots exemplify a “crack-pop” sequence, typical when a supersonic bullet passes a microphone, before the “arrival of the corresponding muzzle blast sound,” Maher, who teaches audio forensics at Montana State University, told CNN.
The time between these markers places the shooter 110 to 120 meters from the microphone, Maher said, assuming the bullet is moving at an average speed of 800 to 1,000 meters per second, the equivalent of 2,600 to 3,280 feet per second.
Eyewitness Accounts of Multiple Shooters
Second, there are several event attendees who reported the presence of more than one shooter, one of whom was Crooks, and another who was allegedly in the water tower.
The reporter from Fox News quickly dismisses the claim of a water tower, suggesting that she was already provided with a narrative to maintain about there only being one shooter, Crooks. Her lack of journalistic inquiry is itself revealing of a cover-up, supported at the producer level of the mainstream media but likely not originating there.
Ground Level Shooter to the Left of Trump
Third, this eyewitness claims to have evidence of a second shooter and provides video footage of event attendees pointing in the direction of the shooter, which is to the left of Trump but to the right of the stage from the audience's perspective.
Here more footage of the ground-level gunman firing into the crowd from the right-hand side of the stage, injuring several victims with the same bullet.
Water Tower Shooter
Fourth, evidence confirming a water tower shooter has yet to emerge.
Viewers of the video below claim that a dark spot on the tower shows a shooter, but this is difficult to confirm.
One interpretation suggests that the video deceives because it appears shaky from a distance and undergoes compression. Video compression artifacts can create misleading movements that make it appear like something is moving when, in fact, the compression is shifting, causing the overly pixilated image to shimmer.
In this video, the presenter gestures towards a patch of trees, seemingly implying that the bullet's impact deflected the leaves from their trajectory. However, throughout the video, you can see the baseline of video compression artifacts, indicating that the movement across the screen explains the apparent loss of green from the suspected bullet.
Simply put, a bull did not move the leaves; it was merely a distortion of the video.
Here is an image showing the scale of the size of the shadow in comparison to the star logo of the water tower. It also shows the degree to which video at a distance that has also been compressed can distort objects.
The dark patch believed to be a tower shooter is likely just a shadow.
Nevertheless, more evidence will help totally rule out the presence of a water tower shooter.
Please tell me what you think or let me know if I got something wrong. I want to hear from you.

As you probably know by now, the FBI has now said that a shot was fired by local police.
Excellent analysis of a very convoluted situation.
The CIA doctored the Zapruder footage of the JFK assassination way back in the 1960s....we need to remember who we're dealing with. Can you imagine how differently the JFK assassination would have gone down had people had cell phones and had we had respected citizen journalism? The Warren Commission report would have *never* been accepted by anyone.
Like the direction of the bullet proves that Oswald could not have shot JFK (his head would have blown forward had the bullet come from the direction of the Book Depository), the key to the shooter(s) is the direction of the bullets' paths ~ not just the one that hit DJT, but the others as well ~ where are our ballistics experts?
