Trump Shot NEW Video:A chilling video has emerged, purportedly showing the shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks crawling on a rooftop and taking aim at Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, as people shout "man on roof" in a bid to warn law enforcement just 86 seconds ahead of the failed assassination bid on Saturday (Jul13).
According to reports, the warning was given by rally attendees in Pennsylvaniabefore Crooks fired some eight-nine rounds at Trump, grazing his ear, and making the former US president fall down.
The nearly one-minute-long video shared on social media shows a group of people walking on the grass and capturing someone on the rooftop on a mobile phone camera.
"Yeah someone's on top of the roof. Look," says a man in the video. "There he is, right there, right there. You see him?"
"He's lying down. You see him?" asks the man.
And a woman responds, "Yeah, he's lying down."
Another man joins the group, asking,"What's happening?"
"Yeah look, there he is," says a male voice.
The camera then zooms in, purportedly revealing Crooks crawling and taking position. At least one police officer can be seen in the video, standing just in front of the building on top of which Crooks was lying down.
"Officer... on the left," says a male voice, as Trump's ongoing campaign speech could be heard in the background.
"Up here, He's on the roof, right here, man on the roof...you guys," shouts one woman.
More people gather, and as the mobile phone camera zooms in, one can clearly see a man lying on top of the roof, crawling and apparently taking aim.

Some in the crowd told reporters later that they had tried to alert police. The video now appears to validate that.
According to a video analysis by the Washington Post, Crooks fired two minutes and two seconds after the starting point of the newly emerged video.
