A direct frame-by-frame comparison video of Trump’s speech on Saturday and the frantic attempts of onlookers to warn police and Secret Service about the presence of a gunman on a nearby roof, has been posted on Twitter.
Filmmaker Nathan Livingstone posted the video on his Twitter account, MilkBarTV.
Two agonising minutes pass before the gunman opens fire on the former president.
From the opening frames of the video comparison, bystanders can be seen pointing at the location of Thomas Matthew Crooks.
“Look, they’re all pointing,” a man can be heard saying in the first ten seconds of the video.
“Someone’s up on the roof: look! There he is, right there. He’s laying down.”

The video comparison makes clear, in undeniable fashion, the scale of the security failure that led to Donald Trump escaping death by millimeters on Saturday, and left one man dead and two seriously wounded.
Further damaging revelations about police behavior in the minutes before the attack have emerged. According to the Associated Press, a police officer climbed onto the roof where Thomas Matthew Crooks was laying with his rifle and then retreated when Crooks pointed his gun at him. Crooks then fired on the former president before being killed.
Eyewitnesses have described attempting to warn Secret Service and law enforcement about the presence of a gunman multiple times in the minutes before he opened fire.
One man, a local Trump supporter, told BBC News how he and a group of others desperately tried to alert police and Secret Service to the gunman’s location, only to be ignored.
An FBI spokesman told reporters that “there’s going to be a long investigation” into how Trump was shot.
“We’re still working through the security apparatus that the Secret Service had in place, what potentially happened” the spokesman said at a press conference.
“There’s going to be a long investigation into exactly what took place and how the individual was able to get access to the location, what type of weapon he had—all that is really days, weeks and months of investigation.”
“How was he able to get off four or five shots?” a reporter then asked.
“It is surprising. But again, all the details of that will come out in investigation.”
