From the @realErikDPrince post at
@realErikDPrince on Twitter/X The law enforcement sniper (unclear if USSS) in newsreels was clearly overwhelmed as his face came off his rifle instead of doing his job to kill the shooter. Clearly they were watching the shooter but apparently have a no "first shot" policy.
The only positive action was an apparent 488yd shot by one USSS sniper which despatched the assasin but after the assassin launched at least 5 rounds, wounding DJT and killing and severely others in the crowd. A USSS sniper 488 yards away from the shooter made the actual shot that took out the shooter -- not the two guys 150 yards away.
A local police officer climbed the ladder, then retreated when the shooter aimed the rifle at him/her.
Cluster-Bungle all around, it seems.
