A 3D Recreation of the Trump Assassination Attempt

A quick analysis of the July 13, 2024 rally attack in Butler, Pennsylvania.

On July 13, 2024, during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump.

Crooks fired shots from an elevated position, grazing Trump's right ear, killing one attendee, and critically injuring another.

Utilizing Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) data, I have created a comprehensive 3D recreation of the incident, providing a detailed account of the events as they unfolded.

This article delves into the sequence of events, supported by video evidence.

We begin with the initial shot

The assassination attempt began with a single gunshot that grazed former President Trump’s right ear. The bullet was fired from a rooftop approximately 447 feet away.

The gunman fired off several more rounds. Some of which landed within range of Trump's crowd. An attendee was killed, and another was injured, both by the final shot in the recreation below.

The red sphere shows where a tractor's hydraulic line was severed by a bullet.

After identifying the threat, a member of the counter-sniper team adjusted his line of sight.

The USSS (United States Secret Service) agent didn't have their gun aimed at the shooter's location because that area was under the control of the local and state police.

He was most likely tasked with securing a further location, possibly the highlighted rooftops.

The Secret Service Counter-Sniper Team neutralized the shooter moments later. It's important to note that the chain of events here has been slowed down for your comprehension.

This all occurred very quickly.

The former President was then escorted off of the stage to the evacuation point.

He raised a closed fist as the inner-circle agents pushed him into the car.

Below you can see his relative position.
