Butler County Sheriff Michael Slupe provided additional information regarding the incident involving Thomas Matthew Crooks, who shot former President Trump during a rally in Pennsylvania. According to Slupe, Butler Township police received reports about a suspicious individual outside the rally and initiated a search to locate the person.
Officers from Butler Township police began scouring the area and eventually discovered someone on the roof of a building. One officer assisted another in climbing onto the roof, where they encountered Crooks, who aimed a gun at one of the officers. In an attempt to evade the threat, the officer dropped off the roof, and Crooks proceeded to open fire on Trump shortly thereafter.
