This is probably nothing. There’s likely a reasonable explanation for what appears to be a suppressed rifle shot coming from a window in the building where Thomas Michael Crooks attempted to assassinate President Donald. J. Trump.
But until that reasonable explanation presents itself, we’ll consider the possibility it’s a muzzle flash and suppressed report. The shot was taken just a few seconds after the initial eight rounds fired by Crooks.
Twitter user @RealDJstew724 posted it Saturday, claiming to be the person who shot the footage. He then posted a full video on his YouTube channel which can be seen below.
First, here’s the footage of the incident itself in real time, then .25 speed, then .10 speed:
Here’s the original video on YouTube with the relevant moment at 5:05:
Is this a case of a second shooter, perhaps the “real” shooter commissioned by someone who wanted Trump assassinated but who had a fall guy in place? If so, then what happened? Why didn’t the “real” shooter take the shot either just before Crooks or at the same time?
It was reported that Crooks was confronted by a cop just before shooting. Could he have been under orders to fire at an exact moment but was rushed into action by the cop? It’s possible, and that would seem like the only scenario in which a second shooter would wait until after Trump was already covered by Secret Service before taking a shot.
Again, this is all a stretch, but it’s not outside the realm of possibility. Unfortunately, nobody will investigate this as it fades into the memory hole.
Update:
Mike Adams from Natural News picked up on the story as well (technically, he posted about it first). He says if the video is real then it means definitively there’s a second shooter. Having seen the original video (Adams had not when he posted the article below), I can say with near certainty that it is unedited. Here’s Adams’ assessment…
Newly unearthed video from Trump shooting appears to show suppressed rifle fire from FIRST floor window underneath Crooks rooftop, fired toward Trump podium
A user on X (@realDJstew724) has posted a video that he says he recorded himself at the Trump shooting, capturing what appears to be the firing of a suppressed rifle from inside a first floor window of the very same building on which Crooks was crawling (on the roof).
Although further confirmations are needed — and this user says he will post his raw video within a day or so — unless this is some sort of elaborate hoax requiring very technical audio and video alterations, this video appears to have captured a new shooter that has previously not been known to exist.
Importantly, this apparent shot took place just over 9 seconds after the first round was fired, meaning it would be round #10, making the counter-sniper shot from U.S. Secret Service round #11, at approximately 16 seconds after the first round was fired.
The following two images capture what appear to be muzzle blast from a rifle fired from inside a room of the first floor of the building.
An audio signature accompanies this muzzle flash, coming across as the firing of a suppressed rifle.
You can watch the full video of the slow-motion version here, posted on Brighteon, but this video is somewhat pixelated due to the rendering at a lower bitrate: Brighteon.com/87dc0827-7502-4e3b-841a-5331d5eae12b
A higher bitrate video is found in my Twitter / X post here:

CONCLUSIONS: The source of this video needs to be vetted. We have reached out to the user who posted it, and we are requesting original, raw video for further analysis. If this video is a hoax, it would represent a very difficult hoax to carry out, requiring strong technical skills in audio and video editing. If it is authentic, it completely changes the line of questioning (and timeline of events) surrounding this attempted assassination of Donald J. Trump.

If this video is authentic, then there is another shooter who clearly wasn’t aiming for Crooks. Stay tuned for more details as they emerge.
What Would You Do If Pharmacies Couldn’t Provide You With Crucial Medications or Antibiotics?
The medication supply chain from China and India is more fragile than ever since Covid. The US is not equipped to handle our pharmaceutical needs. We’ve already seen shortages with antibiotics and other medications in recent months and pharmaceutical challenges are becoming more frequent today.
Our partners at Jase Medical offer a simple solution for Americans to be prepared in case things go south. Their “Jase Case” gives Americans emergency antibiotics they can store away while their “Jase Daily” offers a wide array of prescription drugs to treat the ailments most common to Americans.
They do this through a process that embraces medical freedom. Their secure online form allows board-certified physicians to prescribe the needed drugs. They are then delivered directly to the customer from their pharmacy network. The physicians are available to answer treatment related questions.
Multi–sniper classic scenario — — — most likely the actual reality!
“It was reported that Crooks was confronted by a cop just before shooting.” ??????
The Butler PD reported this but ZERO corroborating witnesses — all those people but nobody witnessed it?! What is more curious, if the Butler PD were there and very close by, WHY WAS IT that it was the BEAVER COUNTY PD who were first on the scene, 12 MINUTES AFTER Crooks was shot dead?!
Too many contradictory anomalies plus always a possibility it was a KNOWN multi–sniper op and the other one handed the rifle to Crooks through that window?!
In this footage, the first 8 shots sound clear & high pitch compared to footage from the other side of the building. Though the first 3 shots sound more similar than the next 5 here, their trailing & echo signature is higher pitched than the subsequent 5. All footage so far show differences between the first 3 and next 5 shots. This either suggests different shooters or shooter changing firing positions. Experiments need to be conducted to see if the same gun can exhibit different sound signatures with changing firing position on the roof.
Sound signatures are definitive as far as they go. A 55 grain bullet compared to a 77 grain bullet, at standard loads, could give similar results; one shooter, without changing positions (not to mention if ammo was of poor quality, hot/lite). As a practiced shooter, though not a top tier shooter, the assassin had the experience and knowledge to know not to shoot varied loads. However, he may have not realized there were varied loads, if that is the case. The unknowns trump using sound analysis alone from two or three sources. If the video is real, it definitionally would indicate a second shooter, assuming the flashes fit the timing of the shots.
In modern time there is always a second shooter (Kennedy assassination) especially when it’s a massively high profile politician.
Well it looks like you found that NSA sniper that was released to leave the birds nest before the shooting.
Glad we have this video. The jittery guy who shot it, despite suffering Parkinson’s or having a nervous condition that prevents him from holding the smartphone still for more than a quarter of a second, thank you and ask your doctor about Primidone (Mysoline).It is by prescription and is indicated for shaky hands. Side effects include the ability to take a still shot, less fumbling and steady filmography.
