First shot to hit Thomas Crooks…came from a local SWAT operator who was about 100 yards away from the building — not Secret Service!

The first shot to hit Thomas Crooks, the man who sprayed eight shots at a Butler, Pennsylvania Trump rally on July 13 – hitting Trump in the ear and killing an attendee – came from a local SWAT operator who was about 100 yards away from the building on which Crooks was positioned, Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA) said in a preliminary investigative report.

When the SWAT officer saw Crooks moving around the rooftop, he quickly left his post and sprinted towards the man, “running to a clear shot position directly into the line of fire while Crooks was firing,” said Higgins.

“He stopped Crooks and importantly, I believe the shot damaged the buffer tube on Crooks’ AR,” Higgins added later, citing eyewitness testimony.

Shooting the buffer tube may have disabled Crooks’ rifle.

The next shot which killed Crooks came from a US Secret Service counter-sniper, according to Higgins.

As the Epoch Times notes further, Higgins, a member of the U.S. House of Representatives task force, traveled to Butler County to recreate how Crooks climbed onto the roof and assess what happened.

He said he was assisted in the investigation by local officials, including the Butler County Emergency Services Unit tactical team commander and a top official with the Butler County District Attorney’s office.

Higgins said that among the theories he probed was whether there was another shooter on top of a water tower overlooking the fairgrounds.

“There are videos on the internet showing a dark figure or a shadow on the water tower on J13. If there had been someone on that tower on J13, it would have to have been some top-shelf operator way beyond anything I’ve ever actually seen,” Higgins wrote. “Regular SWAT operators or snipers would not have the skills and gear to quickly overcome the first 25 feet of no ladder and then climb the remaining 75 feet to the catwalk, and then climb the quite intimidating and precarious dome vent access ladder.”

Higgins said he did not think it was possible for a second shooter to have been on top of the tower and that he did not see any evidence supporting the theory. He also stated that all 10 shots heard that day were accounted for, with eight coming from Crooks, one from a local SWAT officer, and one from the Secret Service.

Higgins said he plans on climbing to the top of the tower in the future as he continues to investigate the shooting.

“As I have said, every question will be answered, every theory explored, and every doubt erased. The American people deserve the full truth on the attempted assassination of President Trump,” Higgins said in a statement. “Our investigative efforts are moving forward in good faith. The release of my preliminary investigative report is reflective of my desire to deliver transparency and reassurance to the American people.”

Higgins sent his findings to Rep. Mike Kelly (R-Pa.), the chairman of the House task force.

The task force was created to issue subpoenas and take other steps to look into the shooting. It was given a deadline of Dec. 13 to produce a final report.

Kelly and Rep. Jason Crow (D-Colo.), the top Democrat on the committee, recently asked top federal officials, including U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, for documents and information related to the attempted assassination. Lawmakers have not yet disclosed what information they’ve received.

Driver, passenger both arrested on aggravated assault charges after New Jersey transit brawl

A bus driver and passenger were both arrested following an altercation aboard public transportation in New Jersey last week, according to reports.

The shocking incident unfolded at around 1 p.m. on Friday in Newark.

A New Jewsey Transit employee identified as Toron Walker beat up an unruly passenger who allegedly spat on him, RLS Media reports.

Footage shot by multiple witnesses has been circulating on social media.

The two men can be seen yelling at each other at the front of the packed transport before the driver suddenly begins telling shocked riders to move to the rear.

“Ladies and gentlemen, go that way,” the driver urges repeatedly, waving onlookers away.

Moments later, the driver can be seen launching a savage assault on the accused spitter, slugging him in the face before pinning him to the seats and putting him in a chokehold.

“You f**ked up. What the f**k is wrong with you? You want to spit?” the drive can be heard yelling.

After slamming the rider’s head multiple times, the driver drags him to the floor and continues punching him in the face.

The beating goes on for some time as witnesses plead for the driver to stop.

Police arrived at the scene and found the men still engaged in combat.

Walker was reportedly arrested and charged with aggravated assault, while the passenger was also hit with an aggravated assault charge.

“This matter is currently under investigation, and we’re unable to comment on any specific details at this time. We don’t condone any form of assault aboard any of our vehicles or within our facilities,” a New Jersey Transit spokesperson told the New York Post.

“We can confirm that our driver was assaulted prior to the altercation. We want to take this opportunity to remind everyone that assaulting a transit employee is a serious offense and can result in a fine, jail time and/or a ban from riding the transit system.”
