Thomas Matthew Crooks was spotted by police officers nearly 30 minutes before he fired at Donald Trump and into the crowd on Saturday, according to a new report from News 11.
Law enforcement sources told the outlet that leading up to the assassination attempt on Trump, Crooks was spotted almost 30 minutes before the incident took place.
26 minutes later, Crooks was on the building about 150 yards away from Trump and fired several shots before being killed by Secret Service snipers.
Trump was struck in the ear, two attendees were critically injured, and rallygoer Corey Comperatore was shot and killed.
The sources told the outlet that an officer checked the grounds for Crooks at that point did not see him in the location of the picture that was taken originally.
Some left-wing activists were later critical of the shooter for missing Trump's head and not finishing the job.
"How do you miss" as well as "One job" trended on X after Trump narrowly survived the attempted assassination.
