Investigators searching for the belongings of the gunman who attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump have discovered a drone among his belongings. According to a source familiar with the investigation, they believe Thomas Matthew Crooks may have deployed the drone to scout the area on the day of Trump’s rally.
The theory is that the drone would have given Crooks a bird’s eye view of the rooftops of nearby buildings and how they connected. This could have helped the young man choose the spot where he fired toward the podium where Trump was standing and was wounded.
As the investigation continues, authorities will likely examine these newly discovered items for any clues that could help unravel the sequence of events and the suspect’s movements prior to Saturday’s attack.
New evidence from law enforcement sources reveals that the ladder purchased by the young man and a backpack that allegedly belonged to him have been located and are in the possession of federal authorities.
A construction worker discovered the ladder on the side of the road outside the rally site, according to law enforcement sources from two separate agencies. The worker reportedly observed the ladder at the location for several days before deciding to turn it over to authorities.
The worker also found a backpack near the stairs, which authorities believe is linked to shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks.
Head movement would have saved Trump in the attack
Former US President Donald Trump says he only avoided death during the attack last Saturday (13) because he turned to read a graph moments before the shooter fired the shot.
Head movement can be observed from images captured during the event.
