| Sniper killed would-be Trump assassin with 'one-in-a-million shot': source |
| 2024-07-20 |
| [FoxNews] The shot that killed the man who attempted to assassinate former President Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, last Saturday was a "one-in-a-million shot," according to a source familiar with the investigation into the shooting. Fox News learned from the source the kill shot was a single shot taken by a Secret Service counter sniper whose view was obscured. A local tactical team also took a shot at the would-be assassin, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, but missed. The Secret Service sniper who killed Crooks could only see Crooks’ gun scope and the top of his eye and forehead because the lip of the roof was blocking the sniper’s view. |

| #9 And your suggestion is to shoot the gun out his hand like the Lone Ranger? |

| #6 Typical Media BS. It was an medium to difficult shot, which any competent sniper could make 90% of the time. If he missed he could take more shots. |

| #5 " The shooter used three encrypted platforms in Germany, New Zealand and Belgium." From Axios- this is the most unusual aspect revealed so far. He was an online gamer so who he encounter in combat gaming might be linked to those. Historically, such sites have been conversational recruitment tools for certain groups. |

| #2 ...could only see Crooks’ gun scope and the top of his eye and forehead... Sounds like Carlos Hathcock's famous shot |

| #1 When will the Media stop using the Shooter's 2021 High School picture using the 2024 pictures with long stringy head and chin hair. Plus, is there any truth to the rumor that IT was Transgendering and it's being hid? |
