Second-by-second: The attempted assassination of Trump
205,302
Published 2024-07-19
But somehow, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks came within centimetres of assassinating him.
Director of the Secret Service Kimberley Cheatle has told ABC News the shooting was ‘unacceptable’.
Homeland Security called it a ‘security failure’.
In this visual investigation, we’re going to show you, using footage from multiple angles and sources, what was happening while Trump was speaking and, second by second, when the threat to Donald Trump's life was first identified.
Building a detailed picture of exactly how law enforcement reacted before and immediately after shots were fired.
And a warning, there are some distressing images in this video.

Head of secret service has to resign... absolute shocking.
-
Presumably they won’t release the radio communications.
-
How can you watch this and not consider the possibility that it was 'allowed' to happen. Like, seriously. How can the security be that bad???
-
The only info missing is about the shooter. I have heard that his father called the local police about him hours before. This video says a photo was circulated at the event but doesn’t say why. If the father told police the kid had his AR, and the police knew he was at the event, why let DT take the stage before they had found the kid with the AR?
-
They would have surveillance cameras with a couple of guys monitoring them. It goes beyond incompetence. It is suspicious.
-
You’re missing the full timeline. It’s much worse.
-
Blinding incompetence.
-
these are the same 4 videos for almost a week theres gotta be better footage and angles out there were not being shown
-
Best detailed report.
-
and we will never know why this was allowed to happen
-
This is really good from Channel 4. Clear and put together really well. I didn't know most of this extra info.
-
Just plain horrible
-
He was in a BlackRock commercial, had 3 overseas accounts, surveilled trumps movements, used a drone to scout the area, had ample time to set up a ladder and climb up to an unmanned roof with perfect line of sight, had a burner phone, no social media, had a transmitter with explosives in his car, secret service protection was switched out and apparently not even fully made up of secret service, and who knows what else. It doesn't just not pass the smell test, it reeks.
-
Very good work reporting. Thank you.
-
So disturbing
-
1:52 Secret Service agents can climb roofs? But don't roofs have slopes? Isn't that dangerous? Who told them they could climb on a sloped roof?
-
What on earth were they waiting for?!?!
-
Why are comments being monitored and censored?
-
How come none of any diagrams show where the other people who got shot were sitting? Would it prove a second shooter??
-
Very good presentation of synchronized video....... gives a clear understanding of time line thank you ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
