Thomas Crooks opened fire at 6:12 ET on July 13.
New bodycam footage, obtained by Fox News, shows a Butler Township police officer being hoisted onto the roof at 6:10 ET, just minutes before the shooting.

The Butler Township officer then sprints away warning other officers of the gunman perched in the roof.
The video doesn’t have any sound until the 1:38 mark.
“F*cking this close, bro. Dude, he turned around on me,” the officer who was hoisted on the roof said.

Even after the shots were fired, it took police five minutes to reach Thomas Crooks.
“Before you motherf*ckers came up here, I popped my head up there like an idiot by myself, dude,” the police officer who was hoisted onto the roof said. “Then he turned around and I f*cking dropped, and I started f*cking, I was calling out, ‘Bro, f*cking on top of the roof.’ F*cking, we’re not on the same frequency?”
