DEVELOPING: Crooks’ Parents Called Police About their Son Hours Before Attempted Assassination Against Trump


Another law enforcement ‘failure.’

According to a new report by Fox News, Matthew Thomas Crooks’ parents called law enforcement to report concerns about their son in the hours leading up to the attempted assassination of President Trump.

Details of the phone call are not known.

NBC News previously reported that Crooks’ father called the police after the attempted assassination to report that his son and one of his rifles were missing.

It was reported that Crooks’ father had more than a dozen firearms in the home.

More from Fox News:

Law enforcement on the ground was also alerted to Crooks after he climbed on the roof.

According to NBC News, the Secret Service identified the rooftop next to Trump’s Butler, Pennsylvania event as a security vulnerability days before the rally.

The agents failed to secure the building so a man with a rifle was able to climb up to the roof, position his scope, and fire several shots at President Trump from an elevated position.

In a video posted to X the would-be Trump assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks was seen bear crawling on the roof as bystanders pointed him out to law enforcement.

An officer was right next to the building as bystanders alerted him to the potential threat.

WATCH:

One Trump rallygoer told CBS News, “I was just standing there like everyone else, just waiting for Trump. And as Trump started, I noticed two officers looking for something or somebody.”

The witness added, “So I was looking around myself and seen a guy on top of one of the buildings go in between one building to the next and went and told the officer he was up there.”

Another witness who spoke to BBC News said the gunman was ‘bear crawling’ up the roof of the unsecured building. The witness said he was pointing at the gunman for two to three minutes and trying to alert police to the potential threat.
