I believe the local PD saw him on the roof but there wasn’t any order to take him out. The SS shot him after he got 8 rounds off.
Remember the lady SS director that got fired? She was actually telling the truth about the inclined roof, she just misspoked. She was supposed to say it was a slippery slope. That's why they have to prove it by getting everyone to buy the Crooks shot his gun 8 times and nobody pulled a trigger to kill him.
Getting everyone to buy and repeat the first obvious lie is tantamount to hiding the truth forever.
The SS shot him after he got 8 rounds off.

The SS shot him after he got 8 rounds off - - - and miserably failed to take out Trump, i.e., no longer of value. That tells you all you need to know. And how about all the phones, overseas contacts, and bank accounts totaling upwards of a million dollars? No, that hit by the intelligence community was an abject failure. That is why it has been quickly buried. Now, we have the same thing going on in the Kirk shooting that is equally screwed up but at least the got their man in this one. However, with this one they have to deal with a still alive ‘accused/patsy,’ which makes the need for splainning very messy.
