Footage has revealed the moment Secret Service agents and local law enforcement discovered the body of the suspected shooter who tried to assassinate Donald Trump.
On 13 July, the former president of the US was shot at while making a speech at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
While Trump was unharmed bar an injury to his upper right ear, two other attendees were shot and injured and one man was killed.
US Secret Service personnel were able to 'neutralize the shooter' - since identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks - who passed away from his injuries.

And now, a video has been shared revealing the chilling five words uttered by a US official upon seeing Crooks' body.
Chuck Grassley took to Twitter to share body-camera footage obtained from Beaver Co Emergency Services Unit 'in compliance with congressional requests'.
He continues: "SENSITIVE CONTENT: July 13 Bodycam footage provides more info than Secret Service will share w America We NEED detailed answers ASAP on security failures TRANSPARENCY BRINGS ACCOUNTABILITY."
The clip shows the moment members of authority got onto the roof and found the body of the shooter at around 7:00pm.

A man in a red tie, along with a Secret Service star on his jacket collar, seemingly begins to brief the rest of the team on what's just happened.
And in a matter-of-fact tone he states: "So, this is the guy."
He goes on to question if the 'guy' is the one 'snipers saw' and ultimately neutralized after multiple shots were fired towards Trump during the rally.

Another official confirms it is 'him' and the camera pans over, revealing a body lying on the ground, with blood running all the way along the rooftop.
The officials then work together seemingly theorizing the lead up to the shooting, all the while standing alongside the body and blood.
The release of the footage follows soon after the news broke that US Secret Service director Kim Cheatle has resigned after multiple people spoke out calling for her to step down.

In her resignation letter, she acknowledged the agency 'fell short' of protecting the 'nation's leaders' and said she was leaving her position 'with a heavy heart'.
She continued: "The scrutiny over the last week has been intense and will continue to remain as our operational tempo increases.
"I do not want my calls for resignation to be a distraction from the great work each and every one of you do towards our vital mission."
