July 17, 20241 yr https://www.fox32chicago.com/news/trump-shooters-parents-called-police-hours-before-assassination-attempt Quote Thomas Matthew Crooks' parents contacted law enforcement Saturday hours before he opened fire on former President Trump at a Pennsylvania campaign rally, a source told Fox News. The aspiring assassin's mother and father told local police that Crooks was missing and that they were concerned about his welfare, the source said. It remained unclear if they knew that he was in possession of an AR-15 rifle that belonged to his father. Police have not said what actions they took after being contacted.

July 17, 20241 yr 1 minute ago, paco said: I was asking why they had to know he had the gun. I should have highlighted that. Ah, well I assume if they think their son isn't right and is missing that they'd check their gun inventory (which would prompt a call to the cops). Unless he was missing for days and that was why they were calling. Like I said, just an assumption on my end so I guess I should not have made such an absolute statement.
July 17, 20241 yr Given that his parent called the cops before the rally because they couldn't find him sure sounds like he left a note, or a manifesto, that they found. No doubt the feds will hide it like the Nashville trans shooter, until after the election anyway.

Maybe I'm naive since my daughter doesn't have murderous tendencies (yet) but doing a weapons inventory wouldn't be my first move. Then again, I hug my child. So.... you're welcome

But in that 1st video, that guy takes 3 shots and you see 3 recoils, then the camera strays and you can't see if he fired the (following) 5 shots or if it was the officer next to him. Just saw this story about the counter-snipers, and the ones in the video aren't the ones that took the shot. It was the other team, which isn't on camera. At least not in that video. Quote Iconic Secret Service sniper team photo doesn’t show agents who took down would-be assassin Police snipers return fire after shots were fired while Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump was speaking at a campaign event in Butler, Pa., on Saturday, July 13, 2024. (AP Photo/Gene J. Puskar) The widely circulated photograph showing a pair of U.S. Secret Service counter snipers on a rooftop overlooking Saturday’s Trump rally does not show the agents who neutralized the threat, authorities said. There were four counter-sniper teams overlooking the event, Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi told Fox News Digital, two from the USSS and two local teams. The photo shows the "second team,” he said, which did not fire the fatal shot. The Secret Service took down Thomas Matthew Crooks, the 20-year-old would-be assassin, after he killed a spectator and critically wounded two others minutes after former President Donald Trump took the stage. The Republican candidate was struck in the ear and went to a nearby hospital for treatment. A local marksman also engaged the suspect but did not fire the fatal shot, Butler County officials have confirmed. Butler Country District Attorney Richard Goldinger told Fox News that officer had been placed on a routine administrative leave, standard procedure for all police-involved shootings. A federal law enforcement source also confirmed that there was a local tactical team was stationed in a building on the property where the sniper fired from, however it was unclear whether it was the same building. There are several structures on the lot, which was outside the Secret Service’s secure perimeter.

July 17, 20241 yr Laugh all you want @we_gotta_believe but they don't call them the Golden Girls for nothin'. If I could go back to 1986 I'd give each of them about 3 pints of Earl Grey and just let them go to town on me.
