Väittävät X:ssä että katto kuului rakennukselle, jossa oli poliisin johtokeskus, joten ei huono veikkaus. Tosin hoksattiin kuulemma jo 30 min ennen ammuntaa tämä ampuja siellä katolla kekkuloimassa niin oishan sitä voinut käydä kurkkaamassa?

Media: Viranomaiset näkivät ampujan liki puoli tuntia ennen laukauksia
Lainvalvontaviranomaiset huomasivat
Donald Trumpin salamurhaa yrittäneen miehen liki 30 minuuttia ennen kuin laukaukset kajahtivat, raportoi pennsylvanialainen televisioasema WPXI uutistoimisto Reutersin mukaan.
Median mukaan Pennsylvanian Beaver Countyn hätäpalveluyksikön jäsen huomasi epäilyttävän miehen katolla kampanjapaikan läheisyydessä kello 17.45, teki havainnostaan ilmoituksen ja otti kuvan henkilöstä.
Tässä lähdettä tuohon rakennuksen käyttöön poliisin toimesta, ei ollutkaan johtokeskus mutta oli siellä kolme snipua, jotka raportoivat eteenpäin että vieressä kekkuloi kaveri mittailemassa etäisyyttä Trumpiin etäisyysmittarilla. Mutta mitäpä tuosta ja Trumpin show jatkui kunnes paukahti.
Tässähän ärsytetään Trumpin kannattajia aivan äärimmilleen.

Exclusive: County Officer Warned Of Seeing Man With Rangefinder Before Trump Was Shot

A Beaver County police officer warned a command center of seeing a man with a rangefinder before former president Donald Trump was shot on Saturday. The officer had also warned the man was scoping out the roof of the building he was stationed in as a counter-sniper, and that the man returned with a backpack before ultimately scaling the building.
Despite all of those warnings, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks of Bethel Park was able to continue in his plan to become Trump’s would-be assassin.
BeaverCountian.com spoke with multiple local law enforcement sources about security provided by agencies from Beaver, Butler, and Washington counties during Saturday’s rally. They claim a lack of manpower and “extremely poor planning” put the former president’s life in grave danger.
While the United State Secret Service provided security within a secure perimeter of the rally, local law enforcement agencies were tasked with securing areas outside of magnetometers that screen rallygoers as they entered the venue.
Contrary to reports in several national news outlets, officers say the building just outside of a security perimeter established by Secret Service was in fact occupied by law enforcement.
“There were three counter-snipers located in the building that the shooter eventually used to take shots at Trump,” one officer told BeaverCountian.com.
Officers spoke to BeaverCountian.com on condition they not be quoted by name due ongoing investigations by the Pennsylvania State Police and Federal Bureau of Investigations.
A security operations plan had placed each of the three counter-snipers inside of the building looking out of windows toward the rally, with none stationed on its roof. Due to a lack of manpower, the men did not have spotters assigned to them, as would be standard operating procedure.
Among those municipal counter-snipers was Sergeant Gregory Nicol of the Monaca Borough Police Department. Nicol was providing security at the Trump rally in his role as a member of the Beaver County Emergency Services Unit (ESU), the county’s equivalent of a SWAT team.

"UPDATED 9:40 PM
Three snipers were stationed inside building used in Trump assassination attempt
There were three snipers stationed inside the building the shooter used during Saturday's shooting of former President Donald Trump, a local law enforcement officer with direct knowledge of the incident tells CBS News.
The operations plan had them stationed inside the building looking out windows toward the Trump rally. The information about the three snipers being inside the building was first reported by
BeaverCountian.com.
One of the snipers inside saw Thomas Matthew Crooks outside and looking up at the roof, observing the building and disappearing, a local law enforcement officer tells CBS News.
Crooks came back, sat down and looked at his phone. At that point, one of the snipers took a picture of him. Crooks took out a rangefinder and the sniper radioed to the command post. Crooks disappeared again and then came back a third time with a backpack. The snipers called in with information that he had a backpack and said he was walking towards the back of the building.
Officers believe that Crooks might have used an air conditioning unit to get on top of the roof.
By the time other officers came for backup, he had climbed on top of the building and was positioned above and behind the snipers inside the building, the officer said.
Two other officers who heard the sniper's call tried to get onto the roof. State police started rushing to the scene, but by that time, a Secret Service sniper had already killed Crooks, the officer said.
