A video from James Copenhaver, one of the critically wounded victims in the July 13 assassination attempt against former President Trump, has surfaced [1].
The footage shows a figure moving across the roof of the American Glass Research (AGR) building just minutes before gunfire erupted at Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Captured at 6:08 p.m., the video depicts a person walking on the roof adjacent to Trump’s speaking venue.

This figure is visible from the 1:00 second mark to about the 2:50 second mark. Officials believe the gunman, Thomas Crooks, 20, began shooting with a collapsible AR-15-style rifle three minutes later, around 6:11 p.m. Counter snipers quickly neutralized Crooks, finding eight shell casings near his body.
In the attack, Crooks killed 50-year-old Corey Comperatore, a devoted husband, father, and former fire chief at the Buffalo Township Volunteer Fire Department.
Dear @JoeBiden [4],
This is Corey Comperatore. He was a dad, a husband, and a fire chief. He gave his life to protect his wife and daughter.
You called this man a dangerous threat to democracy & an extremist who thrives in darkness, fear, and lies.

He also critically wounded Copenhaver, 74, and David Dutch, 57. Both men were shot twice, with Copenhaver sustaining injuries to his arm and abdominal area.
Copenhaver was discharged from Allegheny General Hospital on July 26 and is currently recovering in a rehabilitation center, according to his attorney, Joseph Feldman of the Law Offices of Max C. Feldman.
