A witness told police he saw the gunman walking from one rooftop to another just before he shot former US President Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday.
Ben Macer was along the fence line when he saw “the guy moving from one roof to another. (I) told an officer that the killer was on the roof.”
“When I turned to go to where I was, that’s when the shooting started, and then it was just chaos, and we all ran away, and that was it,” Macer told KDKA.
Authorities have identified the attacker as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, who was killed by Secret Service agents at the scene.
The FBI in a statement released early this morning said the 20-year-old was a resident of Betherel Park in Pennsylvania, 35 miles from where Trump held the rally yesterday.
