New video footage shot by a rally goer shows the assassination attempt on former President Trump before a sniper took out the shooter after he opened fire.

Jon Malice shot the footage as he and his family watched the campaign event in Butler, Pennsylvania, next to the American Glass Research (AGR) building, which Thomas Matthew Crooks was able to scale to a clear line of sight to Trump, who suffered injuries to his ear from the shooting. One spectator was killed and several others were injured in the incident.

Crooks, 20, appeared to fire eight shots before he was killed by sniper fire.

"I noticed about two minutes before the shooting started, the people were starting to say, 'hey, he's climbing up here, he's crawling around, he's doing this, he's doing that," Malice told Fox News. "We just kind of ignored it because we thought it was some person trying to get a better view."

"I want to say three, then maybe five [rounds were heard]," he added. "And then I heard the two counter sniper rounds."

Fox News was told by a source that one shot came from a local sniper, while the other came from a Secret Service sniper, which was ultimately the kill shot.

Malice, a military veteran, said he was surprised by the lack of security around the event site. 

"One of the first things I noticed when we walked up, none of us have been vetted," he said. "We're all along the fence. We all have view of the stage. We can see Trump."

Malice also said all the witnesses near the AGR building did not have to go through metal detectors because they were outside the rally site, despite having a clear and close view of Trump.

One video Malice captured was taken by a dash camera.

"We were just looking for parking because everything was blocked off," Malice said when asked to explain what he saw when the video was taken. "But this particular road here, I noticed a lot of cars were parking there. So we just kept driving around and we thought it was safe. And, as I was going back to my videos later, I noticed somebody who looked like crooks crossing the street and zoomed in on it."

"Turned out it really was him," he said. "So it's a video of him, we think leaving his vehicle. There was a gray Hyundai, looked like a Sonata, that was parked there … He wasn't carrying anything. He was just in his, you know, just his regular clothes. No backpack or anything. Just walking to the building. And then about two minutes after that, somebody else shot a video of him on that side of the building, through the fence."

Malice said one video he has shows Crooks pointing his rifle at him.

"Right before he was shot by Secret Service, he had rolled over, got up," he said. "I have a picture of him with his rifle up and his rifle turned towards me and the other guys that were standing behind the tree, and at that second Secret Service shot him."

He also said he was surprised that Secret Service was not on the roof Crooks was stationed on.

Former President Trump said strikes against Mexican drug cartels are "absolutely" still on the table as fentanyl and overdose deaths continue to plague the United States.

Trump and his 2024 running mate JD Vance sat down with Fox News host Jesse Watters on "Jesse Watters Primetime" to discuss how their administration would deal with the influx of drugs from the southern border and the drug cartels mass-producing them.

"Mexico — are strikes against the cartel still on the table?" Watters asked.

"Absolutely," Trump responded. "Mexico's gonna have to straighten it out really fast, or the answer is absolutely. They're killing 300,000 people a year with fentanyl coming in."

Trump said he had a deal with Chinese President Xi Jinping to give the death penalty to "anybody sending fentanyl our way."

"You know, China has the death penalty for drug dealers, etc., and I said, they're drug dealers. They agreed with me. He agreed with me: death penalty for drug dealers, death penalty for people that send fentanyl into our country," the 2024 GOP nominee told Watters. "And that would have made a big — that would have made a big difference."

U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen told Fox News anchor Neil Cavuto on "Your World" in June that fentanyl and other synthetic opioids have killed more than 1 million people since 2000.

She said fentanyl and overdose deaths are a "human tragedy" and it's a "top priority" for the Biden administration and other government agencies to address the crisis.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that, on average, 115 Americans die every day from an opioid overdose.

Trump said Mexico would be given a short period of time to "police their border."

"I'm sure they're gonna do not well, and then you're gonna see the action start. And you know what's gonna happen? We're gonna have a lot of people living — they're killing 300,000–350,000 — not 100,000 or 90,000 — I'd like to say 100,000. That's a lot of people. That's two Yankee stadiums, OK? They're killing 300,000 people, maybe more than that, and destroying families," he continued.

"Even if there's no death, they're destroying families. The families are decimated, and they're destroyed."

Vance said he doesn’t believe his mother, Beverly, who struggled with drug addiction, would have survived if fentanyl had been coming across the border 20 years ago. 

"I don't think that my mom would be here," he told Watters. "And she's a great grandma to her three grandkids, and it's so, just, good to see her happy and healthy… but a lot of families don't get that chance at a second chance because of that poison that Biden's letting into the country right now."

Vance argued the Mexican government wants Trump to do something about the drug cartels because it’s destabilizing their country and contributing to billion-dollar profits.

"They're not gonna be a real country anymore," Vance said. "They're gonna become a narco-state unless we get some control over this."
