According to The New York Post and a video compiled by MilkBarTV on X, the Secret Service and local police had ample time to respond to the threat on Donald Trump’s life in Butler, PA.
Rally attendees can be heard warning authorities about the shooter two minutes before it happened.
From The New York Post:
A multi-feed video montage assembled by MilkBarTV, which has been viewed more than 3.5 million times on X, shows the attempted assassination play out in real-time using clips from several vantage points.
In it, more than 120 excruciating seconds pass between rallygoers first spotting Crooks on the roof and the moment he fires his rifle. Perhaps most disturbingly, the people who saw the would-be assassin repeatedly tried to alert law enforcement patrolling nearby.
The surreal footage echoes what several witnesses told reporters after the shooting: Some rally attendees were aware of Crooks’ presence well before he fired.
