Details of sniper shot that killed Trump’s shooter released

It sounds like the shot that killed Donald Trump’s would-be assassin is nearly impossible to replicate.

Thomas Matthew Crooks was killed by a Secret Service sniper after shooting Donald Trump in the ear, killing a firefighter present and wounding two others.

It was a horrific moment that unfolded before the eyes of the entire country, and the Republican candidate for US President is lucky to be alive.

Very few details are known about who hired Crooks or how they were able to stop his terrorist plot. Now details are emerging about the Secret Service sniper and it sounds like it was an incredible shot.

Details emerge about the sniper who shot Donald Trump’s gunman.

The Secret Service sniper who killed Crooks at the rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, hit him with a “one in a million chance of hitting him,” according to sources who spoke to Fox News.

He only had to fire a single shot at the would-be assassin after a “local tactical team” missed its target while attempting to attack Crooks, the same report said.

How hard was the shot for the USSS agent that took down Crooks? He couldn’t even see him clearly.

Fox reported that the USSS sniper “could only see Crook’s scope and the upper part of his eye and forehead because the edge of the roof blocked his view.”

That means he fired the shot without seeing a clear target profile. It’s almost like something out of the movies. That’s not just an impressive shot. It’s one of the greatest shots you’ll ever hear of.

Thankfully, the unnamed USSS sniper did his job, and quickly, after at least one more attempt to attack Crooks failed. If not, who knows how many more bullets Crooks could have fired into the crowd. While there were countless mistakes that nearly cost Trump his life, there is no doubt that the unnamed sniper is a hero and an absolute badass for taking the shot.
