“Where is it definitively stated that there was a ladder?”
The AP story says a local cop climbed the ladder, encountered the shooter, and then retreated when the gunman pointed the firearm at him. After that the shooter fired on the President. So, there definitely was a ladder.
We really can’t take anything the AP says as definitely true.
Ok, Thanks. So many theories and statements out there.
Now curious if it was a portable extension ladder or a permanent ladder attached to the bldg. If it was permanent, it should have been guarded closely.
