Trump assassination attempt: Thomas Crooks surveyed grounds, used drone with law enforcement in position
BUTLER, Pa. – The man who attempted to assassinate former President Trump and successfully killed one of his supporters in Butler, Pennsylvania, scoped out the sight of the July 13 rally while local law enforcement officers were in position.
A detailed timeline and accompanying text messages, obtained by Fox News Digital from Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, who obtained them from the Beaver County Emergency Services Unit (ESU), provided additional details that led to Thomas Matthew Crooks’ successfully setting up his AR-styled rifle and opening fire.
According to a timeline released by the Beaver County ESU, local law enforcement officers were in their pre-determined places at 10:15 a.m. and local snipers were in place by 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, July 13.
Images of the Beaver County ESU showed the sniper’s positioning among the buildings at the Butler Farm Show grounds.

Crooks did not return to the scene until 3:50 p.m. Local law enforcement officers, in their designated positions, spotted him for the first time around 5:10 p.m. — approximately 50 minutes before Trump took the stage, according to documents provided by Grassley’s office.

The FBI later said that no photos or videos were taken from the drone and that the agency found no memory card in the drone.

Michigan State basketball has extended an offer to a high-end four-star big man from Pennsylvania.
Jayden Jenkins of Warminster, Pa. announced on Sunday that he’s received an offer from the Spartans. He made the offer from Michigan State known by posting on his social media X account on Sunday.
Jenkins is listed as a four-star prospect, with a recruiting rating of 98.46 in 247Sports’ composite system. He ranks as the No. 7 center and No. 1 player from Pennsylvania in the 2027 class. He’s also ranked as the No. 39 overall prospect in the class.
Michigan State joins a list of nearly 20 schools that have offered Jenkins, according to 247Sports. Notable programs to offer him includes Georgia, Oklahoma State, Mississippi State, Penn State, Pittsburgh, West Virginia, Virginia Tech, East Carolina, Villanova, Seton Hall and St. Bonaventure.
It’s notable anytime Michigan State basketball hands out an offer to a prospect since they typically only do so to players that are key priorities for them. So this announcement of an offer shows that Michigan State is clearly focused on Jenkins in the 2027 class.
