[How was he shot and killed within seconds? Were they watching him?

Did they assassinate the assassin?]

People in the trade have to make split second decisions. Shooting likely perps on gut feel is one of those decisions. These men have high magnification scopes and a pretty good grasp of likely firing points from hours of doing nothing but seeking them out through those scopes. The kid was out in the open. Muzzle flashes are a thing.

Note also that sniper coverage is divided into zones. That particular sniper team located the assassin quickly because the kid was in his limited zone. Which brings into focus the question of whether the hero sniper was really a zero who should have picked up on the kid *before* the first assassin’s bullet left the rifle.

The SS or Police Officer had his rifle trained on the shooter well before the shooter pulled the trigger. Did the SS / Officer hesitate because he wasn’t sure if it was a good or bad guy? The guy was lying prone on the rooftop — not SOP for a guard detail. They are out in the open, highly visible to be a deterrent to move quickly.

Why didn’t the SS / Officer take him out before he started shooting?

Some other site had a poster saying the he was asking for authorization to shoot for 45 seconds.
