BUTLER, Pennsylvania – A local police officer in Pennsylvania says he ordered the Secret Service to secure the building from which former President Trump’s suspected assassin fired his rifle, newly released bodycam footage suggests.

Footage captured by a Butler Township police officer’s body camera also suggests that gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks may have used a wooden pallet to scale the building before allegedly attempting to assassinate the Republican presidential candidate at a campaign rally last month.

About 13 minutes after Crooks is taken out by a sniper, the officer walks around the AGR building, fuming at another officer that the Secret Service did not have agents in the building.

“I fucking told them they had to send the damn guys here… the Secret Service,” the officer says. “I fucking told them that on Tuesday. I told them they had to send the damn guys here.”

“I fucking told them they had to put the fucking guys here… the Secret Service. I fucking told them that on Tuesday. I told them they had to put the fucking guys here.”

“I thought you were on the roof,” another police officer, presumably from the Butler City Police Department, can be heard saying.

“No, we were inside,” says the Butler Township police officer.

The exchange appears to highlight the disorganized nature of security measures for that day’s rally, which has led to mutual blame among the various authorities involved.

“I wasn’t worried because I thought someone was on the roof,” said the Butler City Police officer. “How the hell can you lose a guy on the way back when someone’s on the roof?”

“They were inside,” the officer replies. Later, the video shows two Secret Service agents in the building.

Speaking to another officer, he says: “I talked to the Secret Service guys and they said, ‘Yeah, no problem, we’ll post people over here.'”

A few minutes later, the Butler Township police officer speaks to a sniper and repeats his statement that he ordered the Secret Service to send agents to the scene.

“I told the Secret Service to send a damn guy here. I damn well told them that at the meeting on Tuesday.”

The footage also shows the officer arriving at the scene at around 6:12 p.m., about a minute after Crooks was shot by a sniper. The officer desperately tries to scale the building and asks a colleague if there is a ladder he can climb.

“No, he probably used that board there,” the other officer says. The video shows a stack of wooden pallets leaning against the side of the building. It is not clear if Crooks used those pallets to climb to the roof of the building. Previous reports indicated that Crooks had purchased a ladder at a local Home Depot, but no ladder was found at the scene.

The video also shows the difficulties and desperate efforts of the police to get into the building.

The officer manages to get two snipers onto the roof by helping them into a large storage shed. They then use a pallet on the roof of the shed to get onto the roof. The pallet was originally located next to the storage shed on the building and may have been used by Crooks.

The bodycam footage is one of several videos Fox News Digital obtained upon request on Thursday. In another video, a police officer scales the building but is attacked by Crooks and falls to the ground.

According to officials, Crooks then fired his shots, grazing Trump’s ear and killing bystander Corey Comperatore.

Spectators David Dutch and James Copenhaver were also injured in the shooting. Both have since returned home. Dutch gave Fox News an exclusive statement on the fatal incident on Wednesday.

“The U.S. Secret Service is aware of and is reviewing the July 13 bodycam footage recently released by local law enforcement,” the agency said in a statement to Fox News Digital.

“The U.S. Secret Service thanks our local law enforcement partners who acted courageously in the search for the shooter that day. The attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump was a failure of the U.S. Secret Service, and we are reviewing and updating our protection policies and procedures to ensure that a tragedy like this never happens again.”
