“There are credible but as of yet unconfirmed reports that the over watch marksman had eyes on the shooter for over three minutes waiting for authorization to take him down that never came.”
Yes. What IS certain is the video shows the police officer had acquired the target and had in his scope. It takes time to acquire the target and aim. He took him out instantly only after he shot at Trump. Based on that video, there is zero doubt he had his scope and aim in him well before he fired at Trump.
I wonder what caliber of bullet it was they took the shooter out with?
