Shocking new documentary shows Beaver County police officers and a Secret Service agent standing over the lifeless body of his alleged killer Donald Trump Thomas Matthew Crooks.
Blood can be seen near the body of the dead gunman, who managed to shoot the former president from a rooftop overlooking the Pennsylvania rally 10 days ago.
One audience member, Corey Comperatore, 50, was killed and two others — David Dutch, 57, and James Copenhaver, 57 — were seriously injured but are in stable condition.

Police body camera video, released to X by Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley, shows a pool of blood along the rooftop as the gunman had just been killed, but after he had managed to wound Trump and kill a firefighter during the former U.S. president’s speech.

The senator is one of several members of Congress demanding a full investigation into the incident.
“That’s him,” said a police officer with the county’s emergency services unit. He also mentioned that a police sniper photographed Crooks.
“This is the shooter who sent the original photo and saw him coming on the bike and (…) and then lost sight of him,” the officer tells an agent.
A police officer and an agent then look at photos of the suspect on a cell phone.
“Shoot 8 times”
The dramatic testimony from Pennsylvania State Police Commissioner Christopher Parish comes just a day after fired Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle testified before the House Oversight Committee and largely refused to answer questions about the shooting at the former president’s Pennsylvania rally.
Paris said two Butler County EMS officers left their posts in the building to search for a suspicious person. That person was Crooks.
Investigators believe Crooks was shot eight times before he was killed by gunmen, Paris said.
“I believe the number is eight,” Paris told the committee. “Eight chalices have been discovered.”
Authorities had previously confirmed only that the gunman fired “multiple rounds” at the gathering earlier this month.
