A local police counter-sniper team was stationed inside the building where attempted assassin Thomas Crooks climbed on the roof and fired on Donald Trump, law enforcement sources told The Post.
Would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks spotted on roof 26 minutes before he started shooting at Donald Trump: Report
The revelation comes as local outlet WPXI reported that Crooks was spotted on the building 26 minutes before he opened fire — with one cop from the Beaver County Emergency Services Unit even taking a photo of the gunman before the shooting. A Butler City police dispatcher told The Post that the Pennsylvania State Police were charged with securing the AGR grounds.A variety of local police agencies were tasked with securing the area outside of the Butler Farm Show grounds where Trump spoke — with the Secret Service representative Anthony Gugliemi pointing out that local agencies were responsible for the area where the shooter opened fire.
Neighbors next to the farm show grounds previously told The Post they were never contacted by law enforcement to set up security in days preceding the event, and photos from the area showed gates into the facility where the shooter sneaked in merely zip-tied shut.
