Witness shares perspective on Secret Service delay at Trump rally shooting | LiveNOW from FOX

The man who attempted to assassinate former President Trump at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania over the weekend acted alone, according to the FBI. Federal investigators identified the shooter as Thomas Matthew Crooks, a 20-year-old man from Bethel Park, Pennsylvania and said the AR-style rifle used was legally purchased by the gunman's father.

When the gunman opened fire on Trump, he killed a supporter of the former president identified as Corey Comperatore, a former fire chief who used his own body to protect his family from gunfire. Two other men were critically wounded in the attack.

LiveNOW from FOX's Josh Breslow spoke with Vatan Cana, who was in the crowd at Trump's rally. He explained that law enforcement had been looking in the shooter's direction for 15 minutes prior to the gunfire.

Just two days after being shot, Trump appeared at the Republican National Convention (RNC) in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he revealed JD Vance would be his running mate in the November election.

I love how he made sure to mention he came here LEGALLY. Nice subtle jab.

[bgmullins]

"Dozens, probably hundreds of people were in the crowd..." How can a news anchor _possibly_ say something SO dumb?

[Wreck-tangle]

Was this truly Secret Service incompetence, or a plot to take down DJT that fortunately failed?

[nickatnite]

so S.S. is telling us they were outsmarted by a 20 year old?

[veritasaequitas]

"Dozens, maybe hundreds, of people".

WTF?
Did you see the size of that crowd?

This was a Trump rally not a Biden rally.

This man nails it! “How is this even possible in America”🇺🇸.

[joshuamaxam]

There's reporting that his father both gave him the gun and called the police after finding out his gun was missing?? wait what??? something is not right.

[egarza]

Police had taken picture 1/2 hour of suspicious person with rangefinder. When attendees pointed out guy on roof, Secret Service had 86 seconds to respond.

[linwoodkent]

Very good witness and intelligent man Mr Cana. You should train Secret Service. America needs immigrants like you Sir.

[williammay]

The questions are, why did it take so long for the secret service to come to Trump? Why wasn't this area blocked off ? And if they knew this guy was on top of the roof why wasn't Trump rushed off the stage? Why didn't they take this guy out before he could take a shot? How could a kid that had no friends, girlfriend, and probably no job have the ability to get this gun that his father just bought and the knowledge to sneak onto this roof and take a close shot? And after seeing him in a Blackrock advertisement, I'm suspicious of an inside job.

So many legal immigrants love DJT. Unashamedly. In D.C. in 2018, every cabbie I rode with was a Trump fanatic, always pointing out the Trump Hotel, what a strong good leader, etc.

So since high-school, he kept his nose clean, no record, no Social media, no friends, no girl, no job, no affiliates, no ID, no manifesto, no cellphone, he just knew where to go, carrying a rifle, surrounded by cops and people, but he knew he was just randomly find a ladder and an empty roof with clean view, and no one was gonna stop him, basically he was trained to be john wick from Temu for 3 years

[kevinhardy]

This is fishier than Aquaman's secret hideout.

[YesuAiNimen]

I'm noticing that more and more the videos on this subject are being to have sudden gaps of silence in them.

[emmanuelmendoza]

Unbelievable, and whats is more Unbelievable is how a 20 year old without criminal record, no ID, no friends, no girl, no Job, no nothing knew exactly where to go and not letting anyone of the Police or SS to stop him, also the confusing of the news already saying his name and then switching him for someone else, the whole thing is horrible, and everyone is pointing fingers.

[DavidLucas-zqgb]

How did he get on the roof with a gun?

[emmanuelmendoza]

I work and live in bethel park, every kid in this area is well educated, live well, is one of the most decent counties in Pittsburgh PA , that murdered was not bullied ever, i know the area, a lot of things make absolutely no sense at all !!!

[ianpat]

How much you wanna bet the kid was on psych meds?

[yvettetorres]

We are all still processing what we saw. It will take time to assimilate what we experienced, even though we weren’t there, we’re all affected in some way. Our sense of safety has been heightened.

[KimLongsine]

He made it appear as a right conspiracy, but he was a Blackrock minion.
