Monday, July 15, 2024 - A veteran whose team holds the world record for longest confirmed sniper kill claims Donald Trump's shooter 'had help' as he weighed in on the assassination attempt of the former American president.
Dallas Alexander, who spent 14 years in a sniper team for
the Canadian military doing close protection for major world leaders including
the Canadian prime minister, said in a video that the 20-year-old who opened
fire at the former president's rally Saturday night definitely had help from
the inside.
'I'm very familiar with the
layout of these types of things and what the job should be, and yesterday what
happened, I have no doubts in my mind that the shooter had help from somewhere
within an agency, an organization or the government,' he said in a video posted
to his Instagram and X account.
Crooks laid down on the roof of a building just 130 yards
from where Trump was speaking in full view of his supporters as he fired
towards the stage.
Alexander says he should not have been able to get that
close.
'You cannot, in broad
daylight, get onto a rooftop within, what looked like a couple hundred yards if
that [of the president]. You can't get in that position with a gun when there's
a president speaking.
'It cannot be done,'
Alexander insisted.
'Like, you don't even have to
be a sniper - it's the most f****** obvious thing, most obvious place in the
whole world.
'You could be like a
seventh-grader - like "What do we have to do for security?" Well,
let's look at these rooftops that are almost within zeroing range of a rifle,'
he joked.
'So something happened, and
I'm not pointing fingers at anyone. It's just too obvious that this guy had
help getting there.
'So whether it's someone turned a blind eye or it was strategically planned, it had to be planned to a certain level, because events like that, security like that, it's not a small thing - and that is an obvious place to be.'
Alexander went on to say that he would find it 'very weird'
that if 'someone is good enough to stalk within 200 yards of one of the
hardest-to-stalk targets in the whole world,' they would not miss the shot.
'Like if you have the skill
set to get in there, avoiding all these security, all different layers of
security, then you will have the skillset to hit that first round,' he
explained.
'It just doesn't make any
sense.'
The bullet apparently
intended for Trump on Saturday night whizzed by his right cheek, and struck his
right ear.
'So my opinion is - and
whether this comes out now or way later - is that this guy had help from
somewhere, and I think that's obviously concerning,' Alexander said.
'I think it's going to be a
while, it's all your going to see for the next little while,' he added.
'Anyway, just because I keep
getting asked, that's my two cents.'
