The first shot to strike the man who fired at former President Donald Trump was from a local law enforcement officer, according to a preliminary report from an investigation by a U.S. congressman.
Thomas Crooks fired eight shots from the rooftop of a building near where Trump was speaking in Butler County, Pennsylvania on July 13.
Rep. Clay Higgins (R-La.) found that the next shot came from a Butler County Emergency Services Unit SWAT operator, who was about 100 yards away from the building on which Crooks was positioned.
When the SWAT officer saw Crooks as a moving target on the rooftop, he quickly left his post and sprinted towards the man, “running to a clear shot position directly into the line of fire while Crooks was firing,” Higgins said.
