TechFlow news, according to Pennsylvania's WPXI television station, the man who attempted to assassinate Trump was spotted on a rooftop nearly 30 minutes before the shooting. According to reports, a member of Beaver County’s Emergency Service Unit (ESU) noticed a suspicious man on a rooftop near the rally site at 5:45 p.m. and immediately reported it, taking a photo of the individual.
The person in the photo is said to be Thomas Crooks, though it remains unclear whether Crooks was armed at that time. Additionally, sources indicate that a law enforcement officer inspected Crooks’ location afterward but did not see him at the spot where the first photo was taken. Twenty-six minutes after law enforcement took a second photo of Crooks and received intelligence, gunfire erupted from the rooftop. Seconds later, a Secret Service sniper returned fire, killing Crooks.
