On July 13, 2024, a 20-year-old gunman climbed onto a rooftop outside a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania and opened fire on former President Donald Trump. One spectator was killed, two others critically wounded, and Trump was grazed by a bullet that came within inches of ending his life.
In this gripping episode, host Alexander Lawson breaks down the crimes of Thomas Matthew Crooks — his background, meticulous planning, and the eight shots that shattered a peaceful summer evening. We walk through the minute-by-minute timeline, the heroic actions of Corey Comperatore, the immediate chaos, and the FBI’s exhaustive investigation that found a lone actor with no clear motive.
We also examine the critical security failures that allowed the attack to unfold.
A true crime story that nearly changed American history.
