One thought has been bothering me has to do with the SS snipers who killed the perp. Why did they not see the perp on the roof beforehand. The guy probably accessed the roof with a ladder, then crawled to his firing position, then had to get into a proper position to make a kill shot all of which takes time. If the SS snipers saw him after the five shots, why not before??

I heard the shooter was below the ridgeline. He popped up to fire and they nailed him. You can also hear other gunfire, possibly the police trying to draw him off.

I had the same thought.

"Why did they not see the perp on the roof beforehand."

I believe they did see him. It appears the SS snipers had an elevation advantage over the perp. After the way law enforcement has been treated since the days of George Floyd, I believe they were too damned timid to take the shot. Ether that or they intentionally waited for the perp to take his shot.... Very bad. (?)

The perp came over the top of the building. (Gable roof)
