Crooks spotted pacing acting strange by entrance to Trump event. By metal detectors. People reported to the LEO.
A local counter sniper spotted Crooks on the ground and called it in. Took a picture. LEO reponded to the spot but he was was gone like 25 mins before shooting.
Crooks bought bullets that day at a store near his house.
Channel 11′s Nicole Ford confirmed that Beaver County’s ESU team had eight members at the rally, including snipers and spotters. According to Ford’s sources, one of them noticed a suspicious man on a roof near the rally at 5:45 p.m., called it in and took a picture of the person. We have learned from our sources the person in that picture is Thomas Crooks. We’re told it’s not clear if Crooks had a gun with him at that point.
According to multiple sources, a law enforcement officer had also previously seen Crooks on the ground and called him in as a suspicious person with a picture prior to 5:45 p.m. Our sources tell us an officer checked the grounds for Crooks at that point, but did not see him where the first picture was taken.

Video was on the chart Trump had on stage and video shifted to the ground as people ran away
Clearly heard, he's got on a gun and he's on the roof
About 8 seconds before shooting started.
I hear three shots. Followed by 4 quick shots that are louder and most likely the snipers taking out the gub man.
Someone said they shot him in the head
New tonight: CNN's John Miller reporting that the FBI has identified the suspect. Name not being released yet, but his sources say the suspect is a 20-year old man from Pennsylvania
John Miller has had deep FBI sources for 40 years. He used to cover the mob in New York. I believe he worked in the Giuliani administration too
EDIT:
FBI out of Pittsburgh said "Working feverishly" to identify and find motives. Reached out to rally goers to come follow.
