An accounting of encrypted law enforcement communication transcripts from the Butler, Pennsylvania, rally last month were chronicled in the Washington Post.
According to encrypted radio communications obtained by the newspaper, at 5:42 p.m. ET on July 13, a counter-sniper from a local law enforcement agency alerted that a "younger White male [with] long hair" was "lurking" around the AGR glass company building adjacent to the Butler Farm Show grounds – but had since disappeared from view.
