Moment local cops spotted Trump shooter seconds before firing began - and their anger with Secret Service after

New body cam footage shows the moment when a police officer climbed up on the roof where the Trump gunman was perched, moments before the shooting began during the July 13 rally in Pennsylvania.

Separate footage also shows local police officers complaining that they told the Secret Service days earlier to place officers near the building which gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks used to take aim at former President Donald Trump.

The newest footage was released by Pennsylvania authorities as both state and federal authorities continue to investigate the July 13 rally shooting that injured the former president and two spectators, and left one man dead. Crooks fired from an unsecured rooftop about 500 feet from the former president. Trump turned his head just in time to avoid a significant injury.

Secret Service officials have admitted a “failure” in the shooting and making sure the area was secure. On Thursday, investigators released new body camera footage showing Butler County police confronting Crooks moments before the shooting, but unable to stop him before he shot at the rally.

Some of the footage shows the local officer being hoisted up onto the roof by another cop and then quickly dropping down again after he spots the shooter. The released footage was muted so no audio could be heard.

The officer later revealed to his fellow cops that Crooks pointed the gun at him before he hopped down and ran towards his car, eventually getting a rifle.

About 40 seconds after the encounter, Crooks turned back towards Trump, firing eight shots and striking Trump in the ear. Crooks was shot and killed by a Secret Service sniper seconds later.

“F****** this close bro. Dude, he turned around on me,” the officer who spotted Crooks tells
