(NOQ Report)—This is probably nothing. There’s likely a reasonable explanation for what appears to be a suppressed rifle shot coming from a window in the building where Thomas Michael Crooks attempted to assassinate President Donald. J. Trump.
But until that reasonable explanation presents itself, we’ll consider the possibility it’s a muzzle flash and suppressed report. The shot was taken just a few seconds after the initial eight rounds fired by Crooks.
Twitter user @RealDJstew724 posted it Saturday, claiming to be the person who shot the footage. He then posted a full video on his YouTube channel which can be seen below.
First, here’s the footage of the incident itself in real time, then .25 speed, then .10 speed:
Here’s the original video on YouTube with the relevant moment at 5:05:
Is this a case of a second shooter, perhaps the “real” shooter commissioned by someone who wanted Trump assassinated but who had a fall guy in place? If so, then what happened? Why didn’t the “real” shooter take the shot either just before Crooks or at the same time?
It was reported that Crooks was confronted by a cop just before shooting. Could he have been under orders to fire at an exact moment but was rushed into action by the cop? It’s possible, and that would seem like the only scenario in which a second shooter would wait until after Trump was already covered by Secret Service before taking a shot.
Again, this is all a stretch, but it’s not outside the realm of possibility. Unfortunately, nobody will investigate this as it fades into the memory hole.
Update:
Mike Adams from Natural News picked up on the story as well (technically, he posted about it first). He says if the video is real then it means definitively there’s a second shooter. Having seen the original video (Adams had not when he posted the article below), I can say with near certainty that it is unedited. Here’s Adams’ assessment…
Newly unearthed video from Trump shooting appears to show suppressed rifle fire from FIRST floor window underneath Crooks rooftop, fired toward Trump podium
A user on X (@realDJstew724) has posted a video that he says he recorded himself at the Trump shooting, capturing what appears to be the firing of a suppressed rifle from inside a first floor window of the very same building on which Crooks was crawling (on the roof).
Although further confirmations are needed — and this user says he will post his raw video within a day or so — unless this is some sort of elaborate hoax requiring very technical audio and video alterations, this video appears to have captured a new shooter that has previously not been known to exist.
Importantly, this apparent shot took place just over 9 seconds after the first round was fired, meaning it would be round #10, making the counter-sniper shot from U.S. Secret Service round #11, at approximately 16 seconds after the first round was fired.
The following two images capture what appear to be muzzle blast from a rifle fired from inside a room of the first floor of the building.
An audio signature accompanies this muzzle flash, coming across as the firing of a suppressed rifle.
You can watch the full video of the slow-motion version here, posted on Brighteon, but this video is somewhat pixelated due to the rendering at a lower bitrate: Brighteon.com/87dc0827-7502-4e3b-841a-5331d5eae12b
A higher bitrate video is found in my Twitter / X post here:
BREAKING – New rifle fire signature (sound + visual rifle flash) recorded and posted by @RealDJstew724 (on X), appearing to show suppressed (sniper) rifle fire from a first floor window underneath the Crooks roof, fired TOWARD the Trump podium. Approximate time is 9.15 seconds… pic.twitter.com/fnlEI8Po7D

CONCLUSIONS: The source of this video needs to be vetted. We have reached out to the user who posted it, and we are requesting original, raw video for further analysis. If this video is a hoax, it would represent a very difficult hoax to carry out, requiring strong technical skills in audio and video editing. If it is authentic, it completely changes the line of questioning (and timeline of events) surrounding this attempted assassination of Donald J. Trump.
If this video is authentic, then there is another shooter who clearly wasn’t aiming for Crooks. Stay tuned for more details as they emerge.

Window appears closed. Flash appears to be centered on the center frame of the window. I’m guessing it is nothing more than a reflection.
Doesn’t really make sense. If it was a shot towards Trump, then an additional crowd member, beyond those reported, would likely have been hit. My take is that there may have been another shooter, but would more probably have been the one taking the FIRST three shots, of the eight, fired at Trump.
Looks like a flash from an optic. LEO could have been scoping to see if he could find the shooter.
No line of sight, no injuries in the trajectory direction.. I don’t know what it is.
The original analysis of the elevation trajectory of the shots indicated that a roof shooter would not hit the people in the TOP row of the stands to the left of Trump. The bullet would have to be rising as it passed Trump. Impossible from roof. I told my wife that for a rising bullet it would have to come from the window in that building under Crooks. Perfect setup: exactly the same angle from viewing overhead. But different trajectories when viewed from ground level. Really simple to prove or not. What was the elevation of Trump’s ear and of the elevation of the bullet entry to the right side of the victim standing to the left of Trump. Connect those points and trace back toward the building, that would tell you if the bullet came from the roof or from the window.
Peak Prosperity webpage has been doing a ballistic analysis, a “Citizens Investigation” of the assassination attempt.. The video showing here was confiscated by law enforcement , returned some six days later. At present, the ballistic analysis is determining their being a 2nd shooter involved !!!! https://rumble.com/v58y8k5-stewart-film-blows-the-official-narrative-out-of-the-water-peak-prosperity.html.
