Crooks was killed by a counter-sniper seconds after opening fire.
A timeline reveals the suspected shooter's movements, including that authorities were aware of him on rooftop 20 minutes before shots fired., the pieces have begun to come together about what the suspected shooter was doing in the lead-up to the attack.
He asked his employer -- a nursing home where he worked as a dietary aide -- to take the day off on the day of the shooting, but said he would be back as soon as the next day, sources said. He then drove to the Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, parking about a third of a mile away at a gas station.
He then made his way to a nearby building, climbing up air conditioner units until he was able to get on the roof of an adjacent building, according to sources. From there, he moved onto a taller building next to it.
