Snipers were positioned in a building near former President Donald Trump’s rally in a way that they could not see Thomas Crooks, the man who fired at Trump, local officials said on July 31, rebutting testimony from the U.S. Secret Service’s acting director.
“Where our people were was the far-right side of the AGR building. Their views in no way could have seen Crooks without pushing their heads outside the window and looking back,” Detective Patrick Young, who heads the Beaver County Emergency Services Unit, told CNN.
