Witness says he saw gunman on roof near Trump rally
BBC ^ | July 13, 2024 | Gary O'Donoghue

A man with a rifle could be seen on a rooftop minutes before shots were fired at a Donald Trump rally in Pennsylvania, a witness has told the BBC.

Greg, the witness, said the man was armed with a rifle and had crawled on top of a building just outside the event in Butler County on Friday evening.

...

"We noticed the guy bear-crawling up the roof of the building beside us, 50ft away from us," he said.

"He had a rifle, we could clearly see a rifle.

"We're pointing at him, the police are down there running around on the ground, we're like 'Hey man, there's a guy on the roof with a rifle'... and the police did not know what was going on."

Greg said he pointed at the gunman for three to four minutes to try to alert the authorities.

"We were telling the police, we were pointing at him for the Secret Service who were looking at us from the top of the barn."

Dead shooter. Seems very slight - almost like a child or woman

The SS deemed it a fake gun, apparently.

So what's your point? To give up? Hide in the corner?

Cuck Schumer from NY said that.
Being that he’s a coward, he’d sing like a canary.
He might need to be questioned.

“We were telling the police… we were pointing at the shooter for the Secret Service…”

WTF???

Jason Chafetz was just screaming on Fox News that this was a catastrophic failure of the Secret Service. (With the exception of the SS agents who jumped on President Trump)

The point is that’s what Schumer said about Trump.
Either that was prophetic or that was the plan.

Things can be chaotic.

However, If this is true then the SS needs to be booted. to not secure a structure like that within 200 yards is insane.

Hell, years ago when Clinton visited Ames, they had pretty good security. Enough that I found couldn’t get to class.

I don’t think it was either.

I think it’s a politician being a blowhard.

Hey, the BBC is to the left of Mao, but gotta give them credit, they bagged a major scoop on this guy.
