The Butler Township Police Department released bodycam footage of several officers who responded before, during, and after the shooting.

The footage shows a police officer running toward the building at 6:10 p.m. , just one minute before Trump was shot.

He was hoisted up by another officer and is shown peeking over the roof for a brief moment before Crooks , who cannot be seen at this point, turned his gun on him.

After the officer fell from the roof, he can be seen on video sprinting to warn other police officers.

Crooks established membership at Clairton Sportsmen’s Club on Aug. 10, 2023 , less than a year before the attempted assassination.

He visited the range 43 times and signed in for target practice 20 times in his first four months of membership.

In 2024 , he attended target practice approximately once a week on average.
