Even though several weeks have passed since the assassination attempt on Donald Trump's life, new information is still emerging. "The Sun" published a video from a camera that captures the dramatic moments, showing an officer climbing onto a rooftop to stop the assailant.

On 13th July, the world was shocked by the news of an assassination attempt on Donald Trump. The perpetrator of the attack was 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, who decided to attack the former US president during a public rally. Crooks, armed with a weapon, was on the rooftop of a building near the place where Donald Trump was delivering his speech.

Shortly after firing shots towards the former president, Crooks was shot dead. A new video from an officer's camera has appeared online.
