Plus this Yearick guy looks identical to the dead shooter whereas crooks does not. Imo.

Did he magically fill his ear gauge holes? Not Yearick.

You know they can be seen shut right? In the death pic there looks to be a scar on his ear.

Anyone got the unedited and blurred version of him opening fire and secret service returning fire. I’m trying to see the moment they unalived the prick.. but all versions I’ve seen are blurred

The ear is the clue imo. His right ear has these 2 strange bumps in the death photo.
Can also be made out on this photo of Crooks.

Thanks for pointing this out. Now it seems blatantly obvious but I didn't see it before.

The LOCAL police have the 2nd zone which is thejr responsibility. The 1st Zone, around the podium and 200 yards out is the SS zone.

The local police messed up this one 'apparently' according to the USA logistical regs.

Local police were stationed both inside and outside the building that Crooks took his shot from, Secret Service Director Kimberley Cheatle told.

The local police deployment inside the building comprised three snipers, who are alleged to have seen him trying to get on the roof, according to sources quoted by CBS News.

Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said that his agency was responsible for securing inside the perimeter of the fairgrounds, while local police secured the area outside, which included the private building used by the gunman.

The local sheriff's department referred questions to the state police, which said it was not responsible for the area containing the building.

A spokesman told that it provided "all resources" requested by the Secret Service, including between 30 to 40 troopers inside perimeter.

Many observers have questioned how security plans broke down to allow the gunman unobstructed access to Trump.

Crowd members said they had spotted the suspect on the roof minutes before the shooting started, while Butler County Sheriff Michael Slupe said a local security officer had also spotted him but could not stop him.

The sheriff admitted there had been "a failure" in securing the premises, but said he believed that there was no single party to blame.

The rooftop was a known vulnerability before the event, according to NBC News, which cited two sources familiar with Secret Service operations.

Mr Russell said it was probable that Secret Service agents identified that building as a threat, and had requested local authorities to station officers nearby to prevent access.

For whatever reason, that didn’t happen.

The director of the US Secret Service Kimberly Cheatle said on Monday that her agency is working with federal and local police to "understand what happened, how it happened, and how we can prevent an incident like this from taking place again".

She added that she will cooperate with any congressional investigations into the shooting.

"The buck stops with me," she said in the ABC interview, adding that she would not step down in the face of mounting calls from some lawmakers.
Ms Cheatle will face the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability on 22 July.

Republicans on the committee have also called on the Secret Service to produce evidence including internal communications, audio and video recordings, messages to local law enforcement, maps, diagrams and pre-event assessments.
