Golden Finance reported that according to Pennsylvania WPXI TV, the man who tried to kill Trump was found on the roof nearly 30 minutes before the shooting. According to reports, one of the local Beaver County SWAT team (ESU team) noticed a suspicious man on the roof near the rally at 5:45 pm, so he called the police and took a photo of the man. It is reported that the person in the photo is Thomas Crooks, but it is not clear whether Crooks was carrying a gun at the time. In addition, sources said that a law enforcement officer checked Crooks's venue at the time but did not see him appear at the location where the first photo was taken. 26 minutes after law enforcement took the second photo of Crooks and received intelligence, gunshots were heard on the roof of the building. A few seconds later, a Secret Service sniper fired back and killed Crooks.
