Nice Visualisation 
The first counter shot against Crooks was reported ~6s after the shooting startet. Since Trump mentioned it took the Sniper who killed Crooks around 5s to react, it could be that shot #9 came from the Washington County Sniper location.
You mention the audio analysis. I’m not an expert in this, but as most of the analysis I’ve seen (i.e. x.com) they calculate with the specifications of an AR-15 style weapon. So it might be that a different type of rifle, type of bullet, type of sonic suppressor (details we don’t know yet) could give a divergent result.
Trump rally gunman fired 8 shots in under 6 seconds before he was killed, analysis shows - CBS News
«The final two gunshots were likely from law enforcement and came from two different firearms in two different locations, the audio analysis indicates. The first of these two gunshots was fired approximately 5.5 seconds after the gunman opened fire, Beck said. The gunman stopped firing immediately, indicating this bullet hit him. A final shot was fired 10 seconds later.»
Some questions I think need addressing:
Has anyone gotten a copy of the report and/or transcripts of the phone call of Crooks’s parents calling the police to notify them that their son had his father’s gun and they are worried? (depending on the timing it would make no sense that the police didn’t notify SS of an armed man on the loose during the rally.
Is it true that Greg Nicols’s wife is the first responder who determined that Crooks was dead (pronounced him dead)?
Just to clarify: was the bullet that took Crooks out a “full metal jacket”?
The body cam of the officer who saw crooks running on the roof: Why did the cop not say anything? Did he not see a man in the plane site?
Are we supposed to believe that there was no communication the entire day from SS to locals? So if this is truly so how the hell would they know if they had a problem?
Please address (PLEASE) the object that the police officer leaned on the railing and the guy who looked like a snipper slyly looked around and picked up the item. Was it a gun? PLEASE address this.
Were there multiple doors in that bldg? Were their cameras inside the building (NOT taped over)?
Why were there NO drones? I know that the SS said they did not bring one or couldn’t get wi-fi but Crooks did. Did the police fly a drone?
Is it true there are no communications from the SS on the day of to the locals?
Who is the counter snipper that was with Greg? Seems you should be able to find that out.
Was the vehicle that Crooks drove to the rally the van, a car, or a bike?
Has anyone talked to the parents?
Did the AGR bldg not have their security?
Will Congress subpoena Greg Nicols into Congress?
I truly believe that this was an inside job with just a few ppl on the SS side and locals. NOT EVERYONE KNEW!!!
Hi
I’d be curious where you live? Since there are no secrets I am in Toowoomba.
I am extremely disabled, hence my different posts. My wife pre-deceased me 5 months after we moved here - She died Oct 4 23. I retain the use of the title of ‘Pastor’ so that people know where I come from in world vies and faith. Re investing I was sharp prior to marriage, (eg in the 70s utilities, espec transport - 80s real estate; had $1k of series 21 bonds @ 16% but it was not compounding and short of the 17% rule over 17 years so I sold it for a gain of $360. Once my lumbar stenosis became junior to Dercum’s Disease I was not competent to handle investment on retiring in98.
I can’t travel. Do network people. Have 3 MMA style carers of like mind.
My passion to write has been 50 yrs on one topic espec. with 10 yr trying to nut out what scholars have missed.
I have such a broad interest in life due to need to escape pain.
Meaning? I have joined Michael S Heiser forum to support his legacy, as I was introduced to his range of content at 15-16 and am 67+ I am tempted to join, but don’t think I can cope with more emails. I am not of high IQ, but sharp enough to get the drift of most any topic, just not teach - loose words due to meds, etc I did confabulate some of the detail re PresT event, but understandably.
I don’t mind your reaching out, but??? Well, I ignore the buts and appreciate it.
Where I really feel at home would be some whom Shawn Ryan has/might interview - faith/mil/surv/pol/
Like now, I should be at pathologist, but am typing in physical distress. The pathology won’t help - a necessary evil.
Kindly
Hi DudeDownUnder, welcome. I’m in Kansas, USA. I’ve been married for 30 years, and am about to send our younger kid (and most of our remaining money) off to college next week. I’ve had some back problems too (spondylolisthesis) but thanks to a couple of great surgeons at the Mayo clinic have been pain free for several years.
I’m a Christian, but don’t attend church as much as I should - 9AM comes awful early when one is a horrible night owl.
Have a look at my substack if you like: https://skepticalactuary1348.substack.com

TY for the info.
Many more TYs for the insights u post on Peak Prosperity.
Because u r a thinking person, why did Chris not mention during the “Where were 2 local snipers” presentation the ?fact? the unnamed local sniper supposedly left his post 1 minute or so after G. Nicol abandoned his post? The unnamed sniper did so supposedly to let G. Nicol back into the bldg.
Why were these 2 guys apparently away from their assigned positions for several minutes? They may have a valid reason / excuse given G. Nicol’s relaxed manner LESS than 2 minutes AFTER the shooting. A plausible reason / excuse is BOTH WERE ORDERED to leave their assigned posts, and the order(s) are documented / archived.
Finally, if memory serves correctly, an early Grassley document shows the Beaver County & Butler snipers were ASSIGNED to watch the rally side of Bldg 6. However, G. Nicols appears to have been watching the Evans City Rd. side, and, from that side, he could NOT see the rally area. This may be prudent if 2 or more counter snipers were looking towards the rally, BUT why the disparity between the actual watch areas & the official version (to date anyway) of the assigned areas?
Regards
Your moniker is appropriate.
I will not respond.
I mean…you literally did…
After the 1st shot (#9) against him, Crooks turns towards the crowd on the west facing side of AGR6. He’s still alive and able to move.
Just before the (deadly) final Counter Sniper shot #10 rings out, Crooks repositions himself to take aim on Trump/the rall crowd. The Counter Sniper probably saw Crooks when he was errecting himself a little bit an looked towards the rally crowd. He got set up and took the shot when Crooks repositioned himself to open fire again. Luckily this shot hit.

In contrast to my observations Congressman Higgins just released a preliminary investigative report. He writes that shot #10 was from a USSS southern counter-sniper team, but also isn’t 100% sure yet. The question is what he means exactly with southern counter-sniper team, what was their position (since he doesn’t mention the red barn behind the stage specifically or the team’s name as in the after action report).
• The 9th shot fired on J13 was from a Butler SWAT operator from the ground about 100 yards away from the AGR building. Shot 9 hit Crooks’ rifle stock and fragged his face/neck/right shoulder area from the stock breaking up. The SWAT operator who took this shot was a total badass; when he had sighted the shooter Crooks as a mostly obscured by foliage moving target on the AGR rooftop, he immediately left his assigned post and ran towards the threat, running to a clear shot position directly into the line of fire while Crooks was firing 8 rounds. On his own, this ESU SWAT operator took a very hard shot, one shot. He stopped Crooks and importantly, I believe the shot damaged the buffer tube on Crooks’AR. I won’t be certain of this until I can examine Crooks’ rifle, but I’m 99% sure, based upon reliable eye-witness ESU tactical officers who observed Crooks’ rifle before the FBI harvested it as evidence. This means that if his AR buffer tube was damaged, Crooks’ rifle wouldn’t fire after his 8th shot.
• Crooks “went down” from his firing position when shot 9 was fired, and the SWAT officer was certain of his hit. According to the ESU SWAT operator, Crooks recovered after just a few seconds, and “popped back up”.
• The 10th (and, I believe, final) shot was fired from the southern counter-sniper team. I will not be 100% certain of this until further investigation. However, I am quite sure that the USSS southern counter-sniper team fired the killing shot, which, according to my investigation, entered somewhere around the left mouth area and exited the right ear area. Instant over. This entry-exit aligns with USSS southern counter-sniper team position.
Other strange findings in the report:
“The FBI released the crime scene after just 3 days, much to everyone’s surprise”
“The FBI cleaned up biological evidence from the crime scene, which is unheard of. Cops don’t do that, ever”
“the FBI released the body for cremation 10 days after J13. On J23, Crooks was gone”
“The coroner’s report and autopsy report are both late”
The report also doesn’t say anything at all about results of the technical analysis of weapons used, projectiles, casings etc.
For shots 4-8, Trump had dropped down. So the second shooter didn’t even have a shot. For the first 3 shots, Trump turned his head at the last moment, and the wind pushed the bullet even further to that side. In the end I agree with you tho, I think Crooks was the only shooter. But not bc of the points you’re trying to make.
Higgins report seems solid but even Trump says 400 yards sniper shot which goes along with the video you posted on the 14th. Sniper from bleachers. Southern SS snipers were not that far away.
As long as there is no solid evidence released about rifles/Bullets/Sonic Suppressors etc. used there is just guessing, assuming and narrowing in with the sources we have.
If it comes to solid evidence and we see how the FBI and USSS are behaving (lying under oath, changing story, releasing Crooks body to be cremated), how can we ever trust with whatever they come up?
It is deeply disturbing that Crooks was cremated. So, not only was his blood wiped up right away, but they cremated him which prevents any further requests for bloodwork, DNA, and examination of injuries.
Did they preserve samples?
I thought the state police were in charge of the murder investigation, so…how does the FBI have authorization to release his body?
a clean up operation.
They did a huge cremation at Davidian compound, waco , Texas.
It’s not only disturbing, it’s absolutely criminal to have released the shooter (Crooks?) to be cremated!
As most people only talking about Trump being shot, you correctly point out there was also Corey murdered and David Dutch/James Copenhaver seriously injured at the same event. Never heared anything about these investigations.
At the House Homeland Security committee held at July 23 the Commissioner of the Pennsylvania State Police, Christopher Paris, said the responsibilities as following:
- FBI => Investigating the attempted assassination of former president Trump (federal law)
- Pennsylvania State Police => Investigating the homicide of Corey C. and the attempted homicides of David D.&James C. as well as the use of force of a Counter-Sniper to neutralise the shooter (PA state law)
watch between 22m40s and 23m45s
The big question now is, how can the PSP properly investigate anything if the FBI has disappeared and washed away all the evidence?
According to a post by Benny Johnson on x.com the widow of Corey has retained an attorney to get answers and accountability for major security failures at the Butler rally. This let me assume she isn’t satisfied with the results (if any) of the investigation so far.
As Trump said, we have to fight, fight, fight for the truth!
I’ve been thinking the same hit or miss Trump might or some Republicans might change their mind on banning AR 15.
Thank you I’ve been saying this too. Also tagged Chris on X to see Guided video.
Trump has said no to banning AR-15s. That we need out guns, including AR-15s, to protect ourselves.
It’s curious that as late as now rep Clay Higgins is not sure that shot 10 came from SS sniper!
Sad but true. I still have the hearings of Cheetos and Rowe in my ear…
Senators: “60 days for the investigation report is inacceptable, you have to deliver much faster than that!”
USSS: Blablabla suckers
So still 23 days to go, if they can really fulfill the 60 days deadline, what I wouldn’t bet on.
If they can the outcome is probably like this:
Due to our 24/7 investigation (the acting director almost didn’t get any sleep, honestly) we now can 100% confirm, there have been shots fired and people got hurt. It took place in Butler PA. And just to let you know, we didn’t discharge anyone. Thank you. Case closed.
