In a shocking turn of events, newly released footage from a previously confiscated phone shows that police were acutely aware of the shooter’s presence on a rooftop for an unusually extended period during former President Donald Trump’s rally in Nashville. Despite this alarming situation, the Secret Service failed to remove Trump from the stage, raising serious questions about the handling of the incident.
The footage, now made public by the phone’s owner, reveals that police officers had noticed the shooter, later identified as Thomas Crooks, and were visibly concerned about the threat he posed. One officer can be heard urgently communicating the sighting, while others can be seen pointing towards the rooftop where Crooks was positioned.
You can also hear a suppressed shot and see the muzzle flash in one of the 1st floor windows on the video. Plain as day. Whether it’s been altered is another story.

Twitter user @RealDJstew724 posted it Saturday, claiming to be the person who shot the footage. He then posted a full video.
Here’s the man who took the video:

First, here’s the footage of the incident itself in real time, then .25 speed, then .10 speed:
There’s likely a reasonable explanation for what appears to be a suppressed rifle shot coming from a window in the building where Thomas Michael Crooks attempted to assassinate President Donald. J. Trump.
But until that reasonable explanation presents itself, we’ll consider the possibility it’s a muzzle flash and suppressed report. The shot was taken just a few seconds after the initial eight rounds fired by Crooks.
