(NewsNation) — Law enforcement has released body camera footage from local police responding to a shooter seconds before he opened fire on former President Donald Trump during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania last month. 

The footage shows the body camera perspective of multiple Butler Township Police Department in the minutes leading up to shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks‘ attempt on the former president’s life which left Trump with an ear wound.

In one of the videos, an officer is seen lifting another officer onto the roof of the building where the gunman was perched. As he climbs up, he sees Crooks point his gun at him, causing him to fall to the ground and run to grab his rifle.

Seconds later, Crooks opens fire on Trump.

“F**king this close bro,” the officer who saw Crooks is heard saying to another officer. “Dude, he turned around on me.”

“Who’s got eyes on him?” the officer asks. “He was right where you picked me up, bro. He was on that left side.”

The July 13 attack happened in Butler, Pennsylvania, as Trump was speaking to a large crowd while on the campaign trail.

The U.S. Secret Service shot and killed Crooks seconds after he opened fire at Trump. A bullet appeared to go past Trump, grazing the side of his face. 

Several other videos show the response by other officers on the scene. Many were securing the area, telling rallygoers to leave.

In another video, an officer is heard saying that he told Secret Service to post law enforcement by the building that Crooks fired from.

“I f**king told them they need to post the guys f**king over here,” the officer said. “I told them that, the f**king, the Secret Service, I told them that f**king Tuesday. I told them to post f**king guys over here.”

“I talked to the Secret Service guys, they were like, ‘Yeah, no problem, we’re going to post guys over here,’” the officer said.

The shooting took the life of Corey Comperatore, a 50-year-old former fire chief attending the rally. Comperatore was seated in bleachers between where Crooks was positioned and where Trump was standing.

Two spectators were critically wounded. One of the injured spectators was seated in the bleachers to the left of Trump as he faced forward. 

“There really doesn’t seem to be as much of a sense of urgency as I thought there would be,” former CIA officer and NewsNation national security contributor Tracy Walder said of the video.

“My question is, was this building actually secure? Were there people around this building that shouldn’t have been around this building and I’m questioning why they would want to get people out of there,” she said.

Walder also said the videos show the Secret Service perhaps should have had a tighter perimeter around the area beyond what was assigned to local police.

The attack was the most serious attempt to assassinate a president or presidential candidate since President Ronald Reagan was shot in 1981.

The assassination attempt has been viewed as a massive secuirty failure and led to the resignation of U.S. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle. 

Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe criticized local authorities in a joint Senate committee for a communications breakdown between agencies protecting the former president. 

But Pat Young, the chief of detectives for Beaver County who was tasked with securing the area around Trump’s rally, said they had no communication with the federal authorities that day.

Young insists that it was his team that spotted the shooter roughly an hour before the actual shooting took place. He said they raised it up the chain of command and said what happens beyond that is up to the Secret Service.
