Secret Service Sniper's Remarkable Shot Saves Former President Trump

Donald Trump and Matt Whitaker

During a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, last Saturday, a Secret Service counter-sniper made a remarkable shot that ended the life of 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, who attempted to assassinate former President Trump. According to a source familiar with the investigation, the shot was described as a 'one-in-a-million shot' due to the challenging circumstances.

The Secret Service sniper's view was obstructed by the lip of the roof, allowing only a limited sight of Crooks' gun scope and the top of his eye and forehead. Despite the difficult conditions, the sniper managed to take a single shot that proved to be fatal for the would-be assassin.
