Even if countersniper wasn’t authorized to fire, SS are authorized to swarm the protectee and haul him out.
SS . Unfortunate abbreviation.
Any shot, from a friendly, would have kicked off an immediate evacuation of the “protectee”. Heck even a firecracker would do it.

Exactly! I’ve said. That from the start- why in theaorld did they not inform the ss near Trump that there was a possible threat? Trump should have been surrounded IMMEDIATELY and taken to the vehicle while the perp was still crawling to the edge of the building!
The fsct that they didn’t want president Trump was a colossal failure that nearly cost president Trump his life. Either it was intentional not informing ss, and or ss not responding by surround president Trump immediately, or it was gross incompetence. There is no other possible explanation unless im missing something.
