Footage shows moments before and after Beaver County EMS finds body of deceased shooter on roof.
Bodycam footage released by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) on Thursday shows the moments Beaver County emergency personnel encountered the body of deceased would-be Trump assassin Thomas Crooks.
A 3-minute portion of the footage was shared earlier this week, however the latest 25-minute excerpt sheds additional light on the situation and raises more lingering questions on law enforcement’s botched response to the shooting.
Upon reviewing the footage, Sen. Grassley remarked two things stood out to him, including the breakdown in communication between local and federal agencies, and feds’ delayed response in dealing with the detonator found on deceased shooter Thomas’ Crooks’ body.
BOTTOM LINE: Secret Service/DHS/FBI hv a responsibility to EXPLAIN 2 the American ppl what went wrong on July 13 + how they plan 2 fix it
If fed govt isnt willing 2 give u the facts then I WILL

“BOTTOM LINE: Secret Service/DHS/FBI hv a responsibility to EXPLAIN 2 the American ppl what went wrong on July 13 + how they plan 2 fix it,” Grassley wrote via X.
“If fed govt isnt willing 2 give u the facts then I WILL.”
The latest footage comes as Sen. Grassley earlier this week published a short excerpt showing Secret Service agents and local law enforcement on the roof where Crooks fired his shot, with the dead shooter’s corpse seen laying nearby.
Sen. Grassley has called on the Secret Service to also release footage saying “TRANSPARENCY BRINGS ACCOUNTABILITY” and “We NEED detailed answers ASAP on security failures.”
