One officer climbed to the roof and encountered Crooks, who pointed his rifle at the officer.
The officer retreated down the ladder and Crooks quickly took a shot toward former President Donald Trump, just 130 yards away.
That’s when the U.S. Secret Service counter snipers shot him, said the officials who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation.
According to Butler County Sheriff Michael T. Slupe, the officer was 'gripping the roof's edge' when confronted by Crooks' rifle.
Because of his position, he did not have a gun with him and had to drop back to the ground.
