7/16/24 -- Trump shooting: New Photos and video emerge raising more questions about how gunman evaded security

Thomas Crooks killed one man and injured three others, including former President Trump, at a Pennsylvania rally

Here's a timeline of the events that have unfolded since Friday:
July 13, 6 p.m.

Trump walks up to his podium at the Butler Farm Show just after 6 p.m. and speaks to a crowd standing on all sides of him.

Minutes later, some rally attendees start pointing toward someone on a nearby rooftop with a rifle, according to witness accounts and video footage from the event.

A local law enforcement officer climbs onto the roof and sees Thomas Crooks with a rifle, sources told Fox News. Crooks points the gun at the officer, who falls back, a source said.
July 13, 6:11 p.m.

LIVE UPDATES: REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION

Less than 10 minutes after Trump begins speaking, gunfire rings out from the direction of the person on the rooftop.

The former president holds a hand up to his ear and then ducks for cover. Secret Service agents surround him on stage.

Some attendees think the shots are fireworks or firecrackers; it takes a minute for everyone to register that they need to get down. One woman screams.

July 13, 6:12 p.m.

Secret Service agents can be overheard working to target the shooter, using code names and firing off specific directions. The shooter is lying on a nearby rooftop, about 160 yards from where Trump is speaking, with an AR-15.

Agents quickly shoot the assailant, Crooks, killing him on the spot.

"Shooter's down," one agent says.

Unbeknownst to some in the crowd, one man — 50-year-old Corey Comperatore — is fatally shot while protecting his wife and daughters from gunfire. Two others, 57-yer-old David Dutch of New Kensington, Pennsylvania, and 74-year-old James Copenhaver of Moon Township, Pennsylvania, are critically wounded.

July 13, 6:13 p.m. to 6:20 p.m.

Secret Service agents move Trump off stage and into a security vehicle. His motorcade prepares to drive out of the venue and to a nearby hospital.

Rally attendees begin to register what has happened and prepare to move out of the venue, some still unsure if the shooter is down or if others will be targeted. A sense of calm washes over the crowd, which remains relatively quiet and poised even as people are trying to exit the area.

Locals living around the event area who heard the gunfire begin to shelter in place or evacuate their homes, unaware if the gunfire was a mass-shooting incident or if the shooter or shooters are still in the area.

July 13, 6:40 p.m. to 6:50 p.m.

Secret Service Chief of Communications Anthony Guglielmi releases an official statement saying an "incident occurred the evening of July 13 at a Trump rally in Pennsylvania."

"The Secret Service has implemented protective measures and the former President is safe. This is now an active Secret Service investigation and further information will be released when available," the statement reads.

The Trump campaign releases a statement saying the former president "thanks law enforcement and first responders for their quick action during this heinous act"

"He is fine and is being checked out at a local medical facility. More details will follow," the statement reads.

July 13, 7:40 p.m. to 8:50 p.m.

Trump is hospitalized, and Donald Trump Jr. informs the media that his father is doing well.
