(SQAUK) BUTLER COUNTY, Penn. — New video evidence and detailed audio analysis have revealed a surprising turn of events regarding the alleged shooter at the Trump rally. It turns out that Thomas Crooks did not fire the first shots. Instead, a trained sniper strategically positioned in an open window just behind Crooks’ location initiated the attack.
The newly analyzed audio indicates that the sniper, likely stationed in a second-floor room approximately 70 feet West/Northwest of Crooks’ position, took the initial three shots. These shots were precise and well-aimed, sharply contrasting with the chaotic manner in which Crooks subsequently fired his weapon. Crooks, appearing to act in a panic or under compulsion, unleashed a series of rounds that audio evidence later revealed to have been recovered on a nearby rooftop.
This revelation raises significant doubts about the official narrative FBI Director Christopher Wray presented. He testified under oath during a Senate hearing that eight shell casings were found on the rooftop. However, the audio and video analysis of the crime scene contradicts Wray’s claims, suggesting a deliberate attempt to mislead the public and lawmakers about the events. In the video, law enforcement can be heard saying only five casings were discovered initially, possibly signifying that evidence was likely tampered with at some point beyond that.

The video footage, widely shared on social media, has sparked controversy and calls for further investigation. Footage of Crooks reveals that his rifle did not recoil as the first shots rang out, which is why it is most likely that he fired rounds 4 through 8.
Additionally, it is crucial to note that the perpetrators of this crime were aware that the distance of sonic ballistics had to match between both shooters and the podium. And they do.
When done by design, the perpetrators of the shooting had to have matching distances. Shooter #1 (located in the second-floor window) and Shooter #2 (Crooks, on the rooftop) are the same distance to the podium where@realDonaldTrump

As the nation comes to terms with the implications of this new evidence, the truth about the shooting at the Trump rally is starting to emerge. This challenges previously accepted accounts and raises serious questions about the role of law enforcement and government officials in the aftermath of the attack.
Recent events highlight the importance of transparency and accountability when dealing with high-profile incidents. With public trust on the line, there is a growing demand for a comprehensive and impartial investigation as people want to understand and seek justice for what happened during the rally.
