BREAKING: New bodycam video released from Trump assassination attempt | LiveNOW from FOX

New body camera video from the assassination attempt of former President Donald Trump.

Police bodycam footage obtained by FOX News Digital, through a records request, shows officers encountering Thomas Matthew Crooks on a roof across from the Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Officers can be seen standing over Crooks' body on the roof in the footage released. Officers also seem to be confused about why the roof of the American Glass Research (AGR) building, where Crooks shot from, was unmanned. There also appears to be uncertainty about whether the shooter was neutralized and why the shooter wasn't taken out before he opened fire. The footage captures Crooks toward the end as officers surround his body after counter snipers fatally shot him.

Its the latest crucial piece of publicly available information released that attempts to shed light on exactly what transpired that day and what efforts were put in place to stop Crooks. The security breaches that paved the way for the shooting have been muddied by finger-pointing among the various agencies involved at the local, state and federal levels.

The body camera video has been edited to blur any images of Crooks' deceased body and to mute any profanity.

Don't blame the locals! Blame the Secret Service. This was a cluster F on their part. Come on. The SS refused a drone and didn't put a sniper on a building 140 yards away? Not to mention that the acting "director" won't name the lead agent in charge that day?

[lizU-ij]

With all this going on, shouldn't their priority have been to get President Trump off the stage?

[maryjogreen]

they stopped Tswift before her concert was attacked
she has better security than Former think about that!!!
what a crap world we are in! Come Jesus come

[karilp]

Why aren't they yelling to get Trump off the stage

[randycoleman]

Some people THERE need THEIR bank accounts CHECKED! PROUD NAVY VETERAN

[RiteMau]

And that roof was too steep? Your driveway is steeper than that roof.

[halmakenreuther]

I wanna see the bodycam footage of the officer yelling "let me see your hands!"

[decmadine]

This is not incompetence, this is something for worse.

[glenmcintire]

This has very little to do with local. This was an absolute setup. 💯

[carlsanders]

He had the shot but was afraid to take it without orders. WTF ??

[FirstLineOfDefense]

Combat vet MP here. I am disgusted that this guy's story changed from being threatened and jumped down to he fell down. The proof is now out that he RAN AWAY despite being the ONLY asset in the right position to stop this before shots were fired.

HE RAN AWAY! DO NOT celebrate that! Why is the audio missing? What don't they want us to hear?

[garyhulme]

Trump is more at risk from his own government if you ask me

this clearly shows how they lied to us

[traciewestbrook]

This was the worst protection ever given to a former president. Crooks should have been stopped by cops way before he took the stage

[totallyalex]

Secret Service and FBI did everything they could to help the shooter, and he still failed🤡🤡🤡

It's pretty obvious the police thought there was a SS agent on the roof already and were prepared for the shooter to come down... thinking they were in an open ambush, hence why they weren't trying to get on the roof but were waiting for the shooter to come to them. There is NO WAY the SS could NOT hear their radio calls... it was already said matter of factly in front of Congress, that there was a SS agent INSIDE the radio dispatch room.... who heard EVERYTHING that we just saw (plus the HOUR before) and did NOT protect the president!!!

This is SO OBVIOUSLY a set up by the Secret Service! I am disgusted and I praise God in all his glory for the Grace he has given this country by protecting our President Trump. We are hanging on by the last straw, before our country turns into complete chaos and is overrun by terrorists and communists/marxists regimes... EVERYONE needs to pray in gratitude, EVERYONE needs to start thanking the Lord for the Covenant he made with our Nation to be One Nation Under GOD!!! God keeps his promises... will we?

[ChristopherMcIntosh-kiqs]

I never heard one time get trump off the stage what is this

[dustyscott]

Trump needs to be in a steel bubble how can he trust that his safety is priority when clearly everything is showing that no one knew what the hell they were doing to keep our past and future president safe! The incompetence is shocking! Someone owes a explanation the fact trump had to lay down and be surrounded is the last line of defense offense is the first line of defense there should have never been a roof top open to anyone every roof every inch of the area up to a mile should have been covered,

[RachaelHall-.]

These fools are absolutely pathetic. You jumped and ran away.

[thethinkingman-]

if someone threw a donut up onto the roof the police would not need a ladder to get up there!
