(MENAFN- AsiaNet News) Two videos have surfaced on social media, shedding light on the swift and decisive actions taken by Secret Service snipers to neutralize a suspected shooter at a Donald trump rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday. The footage captures the intense moments when the shooter, who fired shots at the former President, was spotted and neutralized.
The first video, verified by several news organizations, shows the suspected shooter lying motionless on the rooftop of a small structure approximately 400 feet north of the stage where the former US President was delivering his speech. A man's voice can be heard in the background, saying, "You can see the guy there. I think they hit him. The guy... he looks dead," while pointing towards the individual.

The location of the body corresponds with the probable shooting site. An examination of the gunshot audio indicates that it originated from roughly the same distance as the body's placement. The New York Times reported that the wound on Trump's right ear, as he faced northwest, also matched gunfire from that direction.
The building where the sniper's body was discovered is part of the AGR International, Inc complex, a company specializing in automation equipment for the glass and plastic packaging industry. This property directly borders the Butler Farm Show grounds, where Trump's rally took place.

Both snipers then take immediate action, returning fire and neutralizing the threat.
The suspected gunman, who was firing from an elevated position, was quickly taken down by the Secret Service snipers, ensuring the safety of the former President and attendees.
